At River ODP, we provide a variety of driveway materials, each offering unique benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, and aesthetics. Our team of expert builders will guide you in choosing the perfect surface to suit your property’s style and functional needs.
A timeless and popular choice, block paving driveways offer both durability and visual appeal. This option is made up of interlocking bricks or blocks, available in various colours, patterns, and textures.
Block paving allows for unique patterns, shapes, and colours, enabling you to create a truly bespoke driveway that complements your home’s architecture. Whether you prefer a classic herringbone style or a modern geometric design, the possibilities are endless.
Designed to withstand heavy loads and frequent use, block paving is an excellent option for both residential and commercial properties. With proper installation and maintenance, it can last for decades without significant wear.
Unlike concrete or tarmac, which may require large-scale repairs, individual blocks can be replaced if damaged, making maintenance simple and cost-effective. This means you won’t have to redo the entire driveway if a small section gets stained or cracked.
Some types of block paving are designed to be permeable, allowing water to drain naturally through the surface. This eco-friendly solution reduces water runoff and helps prevent puddles or flooding.
Tarmac (asphalt) driveways are one of the most cost-effective and practical solutions for both homes and commercial properties. Known for their smooth, clean finish, tarmac surfaces are resistant to harsh weather conditions and heavy use.
Tarmac is one of the fastest driveway solutions to install, often completed within a day or two, depending on the project size. This makes it a great choice if you need a functional driveway with minimal disruption.
Once installed, tarmac driveways require very little upkeep. They do not suffer from weed growth like block paving, and occasional resealing can extend their lifespan significantly.
Tarmac is highly resistant to rain, frost, and extreme temperatures, preventing cracks and damage caused by fluctuating weather conditions. It remains smooth and intact even under heavy rain or snow.
Compared to other driveway materials, tarmac is one of the most affordable options, providing durability and strength without breaking the bank. It’s an excellent long-term investment for property owners looking for a budget-friendly solution.
For a modern, sleek finish, resin-bound driveways are a perfect choice. This option combines natural aggregates with resin, creating a smooth, non-slip surface that is both durable and visually striking.
Resin driveways come in a variety of colours and textures, allowing you to customise your driveway to suit your home’s exterior. The seamless finish gives it a premium, high-end look.
Unlike traditional concrete or tarmac, resin-bound driveways are fully permeable, which helps with drainage and prevents water pooling. This feature makes them compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) regulations.
The strong resin mix ensures that no weeds can grow through the surface, reducing maintenance. Additionally, resin-bound surfaces are resistant to cracking, ensuring a long-lasting and flawless finish.
Unlike some paving materials that fade over time, resin driveways are UV-resistant, meaning they will retain their vibrant colour and finish for years without discolouration or degradation.
Gravel driveways are a great option for those looking for a traditional, rustic appeal with excellent drainage properties. Available in various colours and sizes, gravel provides a natural and cost-effective solution for driveways.
Gravel is one of the most budget-friendly driveway materials available, requiring less preparation and installation time than alternatives like block paving or resin.
Unlike solid surfaces, gravel allows water to pass through, reducing the risk of puddles and flooding. This makes it an excellent choice for properties prone to heavy rain.
Gravel driveways come in a variety of stone types, colours, and sizes, allowing you to create a unique and attractive look. Whether you prefer classic golden gravel or a more modern slate chipping, there are plenty of options to choose from.
The sound of gravel shifting underfoot or under a vehicle acts as a natural security feature, alerting homeowners to any movement on their property. This makes gravel driveways an effective deterrent against trespassers.

At River ODP, we specialise in block paving, tarmac, resin-bound, gravel, and concrete driveways. Each option offers different benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics, and maintenance, so we can help you choose the best one for your needs.
The time required for installation depends on the size of the project and the materials used. Tarmac and resin driveways can be completed within 1–2 days, while block paving and concrete may take several days to a week, allowing time for groundwork and curing.
In most cases, driveways do not require planning permission. However, if you are using non-permeable materials (such as standard concrete or tarmac) for an area over 5 square metres, you may need permission unless you include proper drainage solutions. We can advise on SuDS-compliant (Sustainable Drainage Systems) options to ensure compliance.
The lifespan of a driveway depends on the material used and the level of maintenance. Resin-bound and block paving driveways typically last over 20 years, while tarmac and gravel can last 15–20 years with proper upkeep. Concrete driveways can last up to 30 years with minimal maintenance.
