RHS Award Winning Garden Design & Landscaping Services In Hampshire.
Driveways in Fareham
Helyers of Hampshire design and install driveways across Fareham as part of the whole frontage – drive, path, edges and planting together, rather than a rectangle of paving with a bare border around it. Block paving, resin-bound and stabilised gravel, all built on a properly dug and compacted base.
Driveways Built for Fareham Ground
Fareham’s clay does not drain, so on a driveway it decides the whole build-up. Get the excavation depth or the sub-base wrong and you get rutting and standing water within a winter or two. We dig to the depth the ground actually needs and build in drainage rather than hoping water finds somewhere to go.
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
Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
If you are paving over 5 square metres of front garden with an impermeable surface, you generally need planning permission unless the water drains to a permeable area. Permeable block paving or resin usually avoids that.
What is SuDS?
Sustainable drainage. In practice it means the driveway has to deal with its own rainwater rather than pushing it onto the road. We build permeable or drained systems as standard.
Block paving or resin?
Block paving is repairable in sections and very hard-wearing. Resin-bound is smooth, seamless and naturally permeable. We will show you both.
Can you arrange a dropped kerb?
We can advise on it and install up to the boundary; the crossing itself is applied for through the council.
