Most driveways do not need permission if surface water drains to a permeable area. If you pave over more than 5 m2 of front garden with a non permeable surface that drains to the road, you may need permission. Check with the local council.

Resin bound, concrete and good quality tarmac need the least routine care. Block paving and gravel need more brushing, weed control and re sanding or topping up.

The cheapest options are typically gravel or bonded gravel laid with a simple pattern. For paving and driveways tar and chip can be cheaper than block paving. Remember to consider future maintenance and potential re surfacing costs when comparing paving and driveway choices.

Tar and chip driveways are a practical mid range option that can be used for driveways and patios. They are cheaper upfront than block paving but require some maintenance. In London you should plan for drainage and weather wear when choosing paving or driveway options.

Sweep first. Use warm water with washing up liquid or a mild patio cleaner and a stiff brush. For oil stains use cat litter or baking soda to absorb, then a degreaser. Rinse well and repeat if needed.

Some groundwork can be done yourself, but most paving or driveway projects in London require professional help for base preparation, drainage and permits. A licensed contractor helps ensure durability and compliance with local rules.

Resin bound gives a smooth, permeable finish with low maintenance and many colours. It needs a sound base, is mid to high cost, and should be installed by trained teams for best results.
