Kerbs and Edgings
Kerbs play an essential part in both your driveway and garden design, performing a number of functions and adding the finishing touch. There are complementary kerbs to suit all paving ranges. All our kerbs can be laid in a variety of positions by simply rotating the unit to suit.







Permeable Paving
Following the introduction of new legislation, you can no longer pave over your front garden without considering where the surface water may drain to.

Permeable Paving is the ultimate sustainable driveway option with no additional drainage required and no need for planing permission. Permeable paving is designed to enable rainwater to percolate directly into the ground below, without overloading the drains, thereby reducing flood risk.

Permeable paving is a type of product that allows the water to permeate (soak through) through the blocks and into the ground.

Andy Harragan has completed a large number of these styles of drives and has worked closely with the local councils and NHSB.

Andy would be more than happy to advise yourself how to about completing a permeable driveway.
 





Permeable Options
Permeable Paving or Driveway Gravel
These products would allow water to permeate through to and into the ground naturally. More advanced designs are available to allow you to collect and reuse water in the home or garden.
Non-Permeable Solutions with Soak ways
It is still possible to install any of the standard products that you see, and meet the new legislation.

If the conditions of the ground are suitable, then all you need to do is ensure that designs have included suitable drainage and channels to direct water to an effective soak way or soft landscaped area.
Non-Permeable Solutions without Soak ways
If both option 1 and 2 are unsuitable, then applying for planning permission may be the best solution.

However if the paved area is less than 5 Sq.m than an application may not be necessary.
Tarmac
With over 25+ years experience in surfacing and paving, we can design and construct driveways to enhance your property to suit all budgets.

We can undertake all types of surfacing works which include:

Driveways
Forecourts
Car Parks
Paths
Roadways
Hard Standing
Tennis Courts
Speed Humps
Playgrounds
Road Markings

Tar and Shingle
Tar & Shingle can be low maintenance and attractive surfacing which can be suitable for driveways/paths/car parks/roadways.

Tar & Shingle can sometimes be installed without any excavation work and be very cost effective!

Resin-bond Stone
Resin-bonded stone surfacing can be laid directly to tarmac, concrete and other stable surfaces.

This is suitable for driveways/paths/landscapes/wheelchair and pram friendly and available as a choice of different colours.

 
Resin-Bound Stone
Resin Bound stone/gravel is a mix of small aggregate and clear UV stable resin and then applied to the surface. It can be laid over existing surface – tarmac or concrete. It's suitable for driveways, paths, car parks, pedestrian areas, footpaths, patios, flat roofs, and tree pits etc.

We have a system of Resin Bound Paving that literally allows water to pour through its surface and allows flooding water to drain into the water course through the paving surface. this remarkable product will totally meet SUDS requirements and will be fantastic for drives, paths & car parks on new developments. This system opens up whole new opportunities for our resin bound.

Concrete
Whether you are laying a new patio, creating a kitchen floor, refurbishing your driveway or constructing a conservatory, Andy Harragan & Sons know how high quality domestic concrete can significantly enhance your building project.
