A driveway is something that is a really valuable part of your home. When you have a driveway, you have a safe space to store your car overnight, and this also makes your property more valuable to potential buyers, so whether you are after a more convenient parking place or you want to increase the value of your home, laying a driveway over your front garden is a great way to do this.
Before you begin you firstly need to check whether you need to get planning permission to do this. In addition to this, you may also need to apply to the council to have a drop kerb put in, which will enable you to be able to access your driveway from the road. This is something that you will have to get the council to do and there will be a charge for it, so this is worth checking before you go ahead.
Before you begin and once you have permission you need to start planning where the driveway will go. You need to know the dimensions of the driveway first, as this will determine how much concrete you will then need to order. You can get concrete from specialist suppliers like this concrete Cheltenham based company Monster Mix.
If you let the company you order from know the dimensions of the driveway, they will be able to work out how much you need so that you aren’t caught short! This is also the time to make sure that you have all of the other tools and equipment that you need to hand before you begin.
