Driveways in Weston
Driveway quotes for Weston, Bath's big residential western suburb: 1930s semis and post-war family housing, block-paving heartland, with sloping plots on the higher streets.
Driveways for Weston's family housing
Weston is Bath's largest residential suburb: street after street of 1930s and post-war semis and detached family houses, most with proper front gardens that were made for driveways. This is block-paving heartland: a charcoal or brindle herringbone with a contrasting border suits the brick semis perfectly. Resin bound is the modern alternative on the newer infill.
Slopes on the upper streets
Higher up towards Weston village the plots get steeper, and the same rules as the rest of hilly Bath apply: falls away from the house, a channel drain at the low point, and surfaces that behave on a slope. Tarmac and resin both perform well; gravel needs grids. Dropped kerbs go through Bath & North East Somerset Council as usual.
Typical Weston prices
A typical Weston semi's 45 to 55m² drive quotes £2,500 to £6,000 depending on material. Gravel from £30/m², tarmac from £45/m², block paving and resin from £70/m², imprinted concrete from £85/m².
