Driveways in Corby

Driveways for every kind of Corby house

Corby has built more new homes in the last decade than almost anywhere in the region, and new homes mean outdoor spaces waiting to be finished properly. From Priors Hall Park and Oakley Vale to the established streets and the stone villages around the town, we install resin and block driveways, porcelain patios and complete gardens.

The new-build work Corby's estates need

Priors Hall Park, Oakley Vale, Little Stanion and the developments that keep following them share a pattern we know inside out: a good house on a plot the developer finished to a price. Drives are sized for the cars in the brochure, and gardens are a fence, a slope and thin topsoil over compacted ground.

Our most common Corby projects, in order: widening or replacing driveways in resin or block with a base that matches the spec of the house; turning blank rear plots into complete gardens — drainage, terrace, lawn, boundaries — in a two-to-three-week build; and porcelain patios with lighting for owners doing the garden in stages.

It is not all new estates. The villages around Corby — Gretton, Cottingham, Rockingham under its castle, Weldon with its limestone heritage — bring the period stone work our Rutland background suits, and old Corby's solid post-war streets bring generous frontages to convert.

  • Permeable builds that satisfy front-garden drainage rules without channel drains everywhere
  • Ground preparation that deals with development-compacted subsoil — the cause of most failed new-build lawns
  • Specs and finishes chosen to match modern housing, not fight it
  • Written 5 year workmanship guarantee, same as every job we do

Corby specifically

Ground, drainage and conservation in Corby

Corby sits on the Northampton Sand ironstone that fed the steelworks, and large areas around the town were opencast quarried and restored. Ground can change from natural ironstone to clay or fill within a garden, so we dig before we design the base and drainage.

Corby has nine conservation areas, including the Old Village, Cottingham and Middleton, Gretton, Rockingham, Stanion, Great Oakley and Weldon. Its only Article 4 direction (Kingswood) controls houses in multiple occupation and does not affect driveways, porches or extensions.

The Willow Brook runs through Corby and Weldon, with an Environment Agency flood storage reservoir at Weldon, so properties near the brook need drainage planned with care.

Questions

Driveways in Corby: questions

My new-build garden floods — can you fix it?
Usually, yes. Development compaction stops water draining; the fix is proper ground preparation and designed drainage before any landscaping goes on top. It is the most common Corby problem we solve.
Will work void my new-home warranty?
Landscaping and driveways outside the structure do not normally affect structural warranties, but we work carefully around drainage, services and levels by the house — and put everything in writing.
Do you cover the villages around Corby?
Gretton, Cottingham, Rockingham, Weldon, Stanion and the rest — village stone work is where we started.
How much does a new driveway cost in Corby?
For a typical Corby drive of 30–50m², resin bound costs roughly £4,500–£11,000, block paving £3,500–£8,500 and tarmac £2,750–£6,500, all in.
How do I get a dropped kerb in Corby?
You apply to North Northamptonshire Council: £333 licence and inspection fee. It is built by a contractor approved by the council, which we can do for you. See dropped kerbs in Corby.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway in Corby?
A permeable drive, or one that drains to your own lawn or border, needs no planning permission; more than 5m² of impermeable surface draining to the road does.
