Driveways on Droitwich housing
Droitwich grew up on brine, and the ground under the town reflects it: clay in places, made ground in others, and low-lying areas near the Salwarpe and the canal that hold water. For a driveway that means two things we do not skip.
The sub-base depth and compaction are decided by what is actually under your drive, checked at the survey, not by a standard figure, and the drainage is designed so the water has somewhere to go: a fall to a lawn, a soakaway where the ground will take it, or a channel drain where it will not. A permeable surface over a base that cannot drain still floods.
On the estates at Westlands, Copcut and the newer developments the driveway itself is conventional once the ground is understood: resin bound for a seamless, permeable frontage, tarmac for a larger area, block paving on the more traditional houses. Nearer the Victorian centre the frontages are smaller and the conservation area can affect the removal of a wall or railings, and a dropped kerb goes through Worcestershire County Council as the highway authority.
We check the address and the ground before we quote.
