Built to last

A driveway is only as good as its foundations

When a driveway sinks or cracks, it is almost always because the groundwork was rushed. We take the time to dig out and prepare a solid base before we lay your new surface, so it stays flat and drains the way it should.

That careful preparation is the part you never see, and it is exactly why our driveways still look great years later. You get a drive that keeps its kerb appeal and needs very little looking after.

How we build a driveway

About us

Most of our work comes from recommendations

JR Landscapes & Driveways is run by Jack Roberts from Prees, and most of our work comes from people passing our name on — one neighbour telling another. That only happens when you turn up when you said you would, quote honestly and leave the place tidy, so that is how we run every job.

You get a written quote with no surprises on the invoice, materials chosen to suit your property rather than whatever is quickest to lay, and the same team from the first visit to the last — across north Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire.

FAQs

Common questions

How much does a new driveway cost?

It depends on the area, how deep we have to dig out, how much spoil goes away by lorry and which surface you choose. Tarmac is usually the most economical over a large area, and block paving and resin cost more. Once we have seen the drive we can give you a price for the job rather than a rate per square metre that changes once we start.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based at Prees, between Whitchurch and Market Drayton, and work across north Shropshire, into Staffordshire and up into Cheshire and Wrexham. That takes in Whitchurch, Market Drayton, Wem, Ellesmere, Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Telford, Madeley, Newport, Nantwich, Chester, Wrexham, Chirk, Llangollen, Stafford, Stone and Eccleshall.

Do you take on commercial work?

No. We work on private homes and gardens only.

Can you lay a new surface over my existing driveway?

We would rather not, and usually will not. Surfacing over a failing base gives you a new-looking drive sitting on the same problem, and it comes back within a few years. Digging out and rebuilding the base is the part that makes a drive last.

Do I need planning permission for a driveway?

For a permeable surface, usually not. It is laying a large area of impermeable surface at the front of a house, with water running off onto the road, where permission can come into it. Resin bound and gravel are both permeable, which is one of the reasons they get specified.

Do you clear the waste away?

Yes. Spoil from the excavation, old surfacing, brash from tree work and material from a site clearance all leave with us. You are not left with a pile at the end of the drive.

How soon can you start?

It depends on the time of year and the size of the job, and resin in particular needs dry weather to lay. Get in touch and we will give you a realistic start date rather than an optimistic one.
