Gloucester driveway contractor
Practical surfaces built for regular use.
Gloucester properties range from established residential streets to newer developments with busy family parking. A successful driveway needs a suitable sub-base, controlled levels and a finish selected for how the space will actually be used.
LMT Groundworks provides a complete service covering removal, preparation, drainage considerations, surfacing, borders and tidy connections to paths, garages and entrances.
For a new driveway in Gloucester, bring the parking layout into the discussion before settling on the surface. If an existing drive needs replacing, show where it has cracked, sunk or become difficult to use. Our tarmac installation and resurfacing guide explains why the condition of the base matters when comparing an overlay with a replacement.

Planning your project
Make room for parking, people and everyday access.
For a Gloucester driveway used by several vehicles, explain how each car enters and leaves and whether anyone needs a clear walking route past parked cars. Your driveway installer can then discuss the usable layout, turning movements and boundaries rather than simply measuring the total frontage. Include garage and gate access in the brief.
Tarmac, resin-bound surfacing and block paving need suitable preparation and edge details. Existing inspection covers, drainage channels and changes in level should be identified before the finished layout is agreed. If the drive has settled or cracked, discussing the underlying cause helps distinguish a repair from a replacement proposal.
A patio project needs a similar practical brief: furniture space, door access, paths and any steps between the house and garden. Send photographs of these connections with your postcode. Ask how excavation, deliveries and temporary parking will be organised, particularly if driveway and rear-garden work are being considered as one installation.
Frequently asked questions
Gloucester driveway and patio questions.
Which parts of Gloucester do you cover?
LMT Groundworks covers Gloucester and nearby areas including Barnwood, Hucclecote, Longlevens, Abbeydale, Abbeymead, Tuffley, Quedgeley, Kingsway and Hempsted.
What driveway surfaces do you install in Gloucester?
The main options are tarmac, resin-bound surfacing and block paving. LMT Groundworks also installs gravel and concrete surfaces, patios, paths and associated landscaping.
Can you create additional parking at my Gloucester property?
LMT Groundworks can assess the available area and discuss a practical layout. Any permissions or access changes required for the property remain subject to the relevant approvals.
Do you repair damaged driveways?
Yes. LMT Groundworks can assess cracks, settlement, worn areas and damaged edges, then advise whether a targeted repair or replacement would provide the better result.
Are quotations free?
Yes. LMT Groundworks offers free, no-obligation quotations after discussing the work and assessing the site requirements.
Can a worn Gloucester tarmac driveway be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Sometimes, but the existing construction needs checking first. Cracking, movement, soft areas, standing water and the height available at doors or garages can affect whether an overlay is suitable. LMT Groundworks can assess the driveway and discuss resurfacing, local repairs or replacement rather than assuming a new top layer will solve the problem.
What affects the cost of a new driveway in Gloucester?
The usable area, chosen surface, access, removal of the old driveway, condition of the base, edging and drainage work all influence the quotation. Tarmac, resin-bound surfacing and block paving should be compared with the preparation included, not just the visible finish. Send photographs and approximate dimensions to start the discussion; a site assessment informs the quotation.
