Block Paving Driveways
Perfect for adding kerb appeal and character, block paving offers a range of patterns, colours and styles.
We use high quality pavers designed to withstand vehicle loads, with proper foundations and jointing to prevent movement or weeds.
Why choose block paving in Wolverhampton:
- Customisable design
- Easy to repair (individual blocks can be replaced)
- Attractive and durable finish
All installations include proper drainage, compaction and sealing for long term performance.
Gravel Driveways
A cost effective, traditional option offering excellent drainage and a rustic aesthetic. We use graded aggregates with compacted sub-bases to prevent shifting and rutting.
Benefits of gravel driveways
- Quick to install
- Budget friendly
- Great for larger areas or rural settings
- Range of stone sizes and colours
Optional extras include block edging, timber borders or driveway grids to improve stability and appearance.
Tarmac Driveways
Tarmac remains one of the most popular and practical driveway surfaces in the UK – and it’s where we excel.
We use high grade bituminous materials and modern laying techniques to ensure a smooth, resilient surface that stands up to heavy use and harsh winter.
Benefits of Tarmac Driveways:
- Durable and long lasting
- Weather and crack resistant
- Low maintenance
- Quick installation with minimal disruption
- Ideal for both homes and commercial sites
Resin Bound Driveways
Resin bound surfaces combine aggregate stones with UV stable resin, creating a smooth, modern look that’s also SuDS-compliant (Sustainable urban Drainage System).
Key features:
- Permeable surface prevents pooling
- Resistant to cracking and weeds
- Wide choice of colours and blends
- Low maintenance and long lifespan
We only use certified resin systems to guarantee performance and appearance.
Concrete Slab Driveways
If strength is your priority, concrete slabs provide a robust, load bearing surface ideal for commercial or high traffic residential areas.
We ensure all slabs are installed on a properly prepared base with reinforcement and expansion joints where needed.
Advantages to concrete driveways:
- Strong and durable
- Customisable finishes (brushed, patterned or exposed aggregate)
- Minimal maintenance

Our Frequently Asked Questions on Driveway Services
Installation times vary based on the size of the area, surface type and site preparation required. A typical residential driveway can often be completed within a few days once groundworks are ready. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your free site survey and keep you updated throughout the process to ensure minimal disruption.
In most cases, planning permission is not required, especially if your driveway uses a permeable surface such as resin bound, gravel or permeable block paving. However, if the surface in non-permeable (such as traditional tarmac or concrete) and exceeds 5 square metres, drainage must be provided to comply with UK SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations. Our team will guide you through all requirements to ensure full compliance with local planning laws.
At Highway Safety Supplies, we’re a trusted local specialist with extensive experience in tarmac surfacing and driveway installations. Our team is fully trained, insured and compliant with UK surfacing standards. We use only high quality materials, follow proven installation processes and back our work with a workmanship guarantee. Every project begins with a free, no obligation survey, transparent pricing and expert advice – ensuring you receive a driveway that’s built to last.
With proper installation and maintenance, a professionally installed driveway can last for decades. We use high quality materials and follow industry best practices to ensure long term durability. For example, our tarmac driveways are designed to withstand heavy use and changing weather conditions, while block paving and resin bound surfaces are installed with solid foundations to prevent movement or cracking.
Maintenance is simple when a driveway is installed correctly.
- Tarmac – occasional sweeping and clearing debris
- Block paving – re-sanding joints and sealing every few years
- Resin bound – periodic power washing
- Gravel – topping up and levelling as needed
We’ll provide a tailored maintenance guide after installation to help you keep your surface looking great and performing well for years.
The cost of a new driveway depends on several factors including the surface material (such as tarmac, block paving, resin, concrete or gravel), driveway size and ground condition. We provide free site surveys and detailed quotations, so you know exactly what’s involved before any work begins. We always tailor our recommendations to your property’s needs and budget, ensuring the best value without compromising on quality.
The best surface depends on how you’ll use the driveway and the look you want to achieve.
- Tarmac – cost effective, strong and low maintenance (ideal for heavy traffic)
- Block paving – decorative and flexible with design options
- Resin bound – modern, smooth and permeable
- Concrete slabs – robust and durable
- Gravel – traditional, quick to install and good for drainage
We assess your property and discuss your preferences before recommending the most suitable solution.
