Designer Drives & Patios Ltd is a paving and surfacing company based in Cardiff (Wales) that works for both domestic and commercial clients. The company presents itself as an established local contractor with twenty years of experience in the sector and a reputation built, according to its own description, on reliability and quality of workmanship.

Paving and surfacing services

The company's catalogue covers different techniques and materials, allowing it to adapt the solution to each type of project:

• Imprinted concrete: concrete driveways with a stamped finish, designed to provide a solid base and protect the property's lawn.
• Block paving: block paving for patios and driveways, presented as an alternative to consider when you are not sure which surface to choose.
• Resin driveways: the company states it has completed a wide variety of resin driveways in Cardiff and the surrounding areas, including paths, patios, courtyards, landscaping schemes and pedestrian walkways.
• Garden patios and groundworks: in addition to surfaces, the company includes ground preparation and conditioning work.

Alongside these solutions, the firm maintains more traditional materials such as tarmac and block paving, while incorporating more recent techniques such as resin-bound and imprinted concrete. According to its presentation, this combination aims to offer property owners more design options without sacrificing the durability required for a frequently used surface.
