Block Paving
Laid to pattern with a contrasting border and edge restraints haunched in concrete, so the courses stay true and the edges never creep away.
Block paving, tarmac, resin bond, Indian sandstone and landscaping across Burnley and Lancashire. Family run from Spa Wood Farm, with twenty years of drives behind us.
Meadow Drives and Patios works out of Spa Wood Farm on Billington Road. Not a call centre, not a franchise, and not a number that stops answering once the cheque clears. A family business that has been laying drives and patios in this part of Lancashire for twenty years.
The Ranger above is ours. If you book us, that is what turns up on your street, with the same name on the side as the one on this page and the same mobile number you rang.
Four surfaces and everything that goes around them. Whichever you choose, the digging out, the sub-base and the edges are done the same way, because that is the part nobody should be saving money on.
Laid to pattern with a contrasting border and edge restraints haunched in concrete, so the courses stay true and the edges never creep away.
Machine laid and rolled hot on a proper base, finished with a block or kerb edge. The most cost effective way to cover a large drive and do it properly.
Diamonds, circles, contrasting borders and setts courses. The detail that makes a drive look designed rather than simply covered over.
Riven natural stone in mixed sizes, laid on a full wet bed and jointed properly, to falls, so the water runs off it instead of sitting in the middle.
Retaining walls, sleeper beds, steps and levels. The work that turns a sloping garden into somewhere you can actually put a table and a couple of chairs.
Large format porcelain, and a free design service before any of it starts, so you can see the shape and the layout before you commit to anything.
Almost every horror story in this trade starts the same way: a deposit paid, a van that never came back. We took that risk off the table entirely. You pay us in full on completion and not a day before, which means the only way we get paid is by finishing the job to your satisfaction.
It is a braver way to work than most firms round here offer. Twenty years in, and sixty four households later, we are still happy to work that way.
Every photograph here is our own work on a real house, not a brochure. Some of them still have our board on the wall.
Nearly every cracked, dipped, weed split driveway in Lancashire failed for the same reason, and it is never the blocks on the top. Somebody saved a day on the digging.
The old surface and the soft ground underneath it come out and go away on the wagon. Nothing gets raked to the side and buried under your new drive.
Type 1 stone laid and whacked in layers rather than one thick dump. This is the part that carries your car for the next twenty years.
Edge restraints haunched in concrete and the falls set so surface water has somewhere to go, before a single block or a tonne of tarmac goes down.
Laid, jointed or rolled, the site swept clean, and we walk the finished job with you. Then, and only then, you pay us.
Sixty four people wrote about the work after we had packed up and gone, and they averaged us 4.9 out of 5. We are also listed with Checkatrade and TrustATrader, which means somebody other than us checks that we are who we say we are, that the company is real and that the reviews are from people who actually had the work done.
Read them yourself before you ring anybody, ours included. It is the only thing worth judging a driveway firm on.
Read our reviews on Google →We are a Lancashire firm and we stay in Lancashire, so we are never more than a short drive away if you need us back.
We will come out, measure up, design it with you and give you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no deposit if you go ahead.
