As you can see this is one of the most attractive designs for creating an

impressive driveway to your home.

This simply stunning driveway this is the perfect example of using a bound gravel.

A bound gravel drive, looks great, sounds amazing,lasts a long time and is great value to boot.

Way back in 1984 when we started "Designer drives" we made our own

recessed manhole covers. I think you will agree they make a huge difference

to the overall finish of a project.

This first cover was partly in the edge blocks,which complicated the cutting,

but with skilled cutting  it is virtually invisible.

This next brick one was even harder to achieve. In the end a quality project is

all dependant on detail !

Here you can see an early brindle coloured concrete block, with a

slightly canted edge.

The use of the small infill cuts is wrong and the blocks next to them should

have been cut to make sure that the final block was at least 50% of its original size.
