Driveways in Long Eaton
Driveways in Long Eaton, built for daily use and designed to suit Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes alike. Choose from a wide range of block colours, borders and laying patterns. Brindle blocks look especially good against red brick.
Built from the ground up
Every driveway starts with a proper look at the ground. We excavate to the depth your site needs and lay at least 150mm of compacted hardcore, the step that stops a drive moving or sinking once cars are on it.
A drive that suits your home
Choose from a wide range of blocks, colours and laying patterns, such as a classic herringbone, contrasting borders, bands or something more personal. We can also talk you through resin-bound and natural stone finishes if you would like to compare options.

Under the surface
How we build a block paved drive
The finish is what you see; the layers underneath are what make it last. This is exactly what goes in, in the order we lay it.
- 1 Excavated ground Dug to suit your site
We inspect the ground first, then dig out to the depth your particular site needs.
- 2 Compacted hardcore 150mm minimum
Never less than 150mm. This is what stops a drive moving or sinking once cars are on it.
- 3 Laying course
A level bed for the blocks to sit in, so the finished surface runs true.
- 4 Block paving
Laid in the colour and pattern you pick, whether herringbone, borders, bands or something more personal.

What our customers say
STL is rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google. Here is what homeowners say about working with Sean and the team.
I had STL install me a new block drive at my old property which is still looking immaculate, therefore I recommended them to my mother in law where Sean and his team transformed her drive and garden to the highest of quality. From block paving on the drive and entrance alley, to artificial grass and decking throughout the back garden, with pergola and a decking walkway with rope handrail to finish.
I wouldn't go to anyone else but Sean for outside work! He's done two patios & a driveway for me and absolutely thrilled with everything. Sean & the lads always do a quality job, excellent value for money, and lovely guys too!
STL installed my double driveway over 2 years ago. Still in perfect condition, recommended to many friends and family. A very reliable team.
Used this company for both my full reno’s and both times the work has been absolutely perfect… always on time, always politely spoken and always a perfect finish on the jobs. Highly recommended by myself.
We recently had our garden completely transformed by Sean & his team and the results have exceeded all expectations. From the very first consultation Sean listened carefully to our ideas and offered his suggestions on what he thought would look best… The final outcome is even better than we ever expected.
Highly recommended. Sean and co. have just finished laying our patio and we are so pleased with the result. Nothing is too much trouble… They have kept us informed all the while and cleaned up as they went along.
