Having Your Driveway Paved – Co-Operative Contractors



Having a beautiful driveway embellishes the look of your property and can increase its value. Paving a Driveway Benfleet is a big job and can be costly if not done correctly. 

Co-Operative Contractors have over 10 years experience in planning and supplying driveways. They have a wealth of knowledge and can offer you a free site survey, free design and planning and a free estimate. 

A paved driveway has a lot of advantages over a driveway made of gravel. A paved driveway looks better, tidier and is easier to maintain. It will not have the potential to scratch your vehicle like a driveway made of gravel would should a loose stone hit it.

The most important part of laying a paved driveway is the preparation work that is required to ensure it will last for many years to come. It is imperative that the foundations are laid correctly.  Excavated to the correct depth of at least a foot, this will enable you to put in 6” to 8” of aggregate as a sub-base.  This part of the job has to be done correctly so that it can support the whole driveway. There are a lot of companies that will not do this part of the job properly which will inevitably shorten the lifespan of your Driveway Benfleet.

After the sub-base has been done the next stage is putting in the base layer, which should be at least two inches thick. It is necessary to be this depth as it has to support the weight of the vehicles parked on your driveway. The last step in laying your new driveway is putting down the top layer, which should be a minimum of one and a half inches in depth.   You should also ensure there is adequate drainage. The Driveway Benfleet needs to be sloped to stop water from pooling in the middle.




Co-Operative Contractors would be able to discuss all your needs and suggest the right design to suit your property. There are many variables they would be able to advise you on:

·         Straight, Curved or Square design
·         Color and materials to be used
