RHS Award Winning Garden Design & Landscaping Services In Hampshire.
Driveways in Basingstoke
Helyers of Hampshire design and install driveways across Basingstoke, from replacing tired builder-grade drives on newer estates to larger two and three-car drives on established properties. Block paving, resin-bound and stabilised gravel, all on a proper excavated and compacted base.
Estate and Family Driveways
On the newer Basingstoke estates the original drive is often the thinnest build the developer could get away with, and it starts rutting where the wheels sit. Replacing it properly means digging out to a real depth, laying and compacting a stone sub-base, and building in drainage – not just relaying blocks on the old ground.
Driveway Surfaces We Install
- Block paving – strong, repairable, and available in permeable formats
- Resin-bound – smooth seamless finish, naturally permeable
- Gravel – on a stabilising grid so it stays put and stays level
- Tarmac – cost-effective for larger drives
- Drainage & SuDS compliance – permeable build-ups or channel drainage
- Kerbs, edgings and drop kerbs – arranged and installed
For driveway-only projects, our specialist sister site Hampshire Driveways covers surfacing in more depth. This page is for driveways designed and built alongside the rest of your garden and frontage.

Common Questions
Why is my drive sinking where the wheels go?
Almost always an inadequate sub-base. Relaying the surface without fixing the base underneath will not solve it.
Can you widen my existing driveway?
Yes – widening for a second car is very common here. We will check the drainage implications too.
Do I need planning permission?
Over 5 square metres of impermeable front-garden surfacing generally does, unless it drains to a permeable area.
How long does a driveway take?
Most domestic drives are around one to two weeks depending on size and excavation.
Also in Basingstoke: landscaping, fencing and artificial grass.
