At Active Drives, we believe that your outdoor space should be an extension of your home – a beautiful, functional area that you can enjoy with family and friends. That’s why we offer a wide range of services to help you transform your outdoor space, from stunning driveways to beautiful landscaping and paving.
If you are looking for a block-paving specialist, Active Drives can help. We have been transforming driveways for over 25 years, laying tarmac and installing block-paving, fences and crazy paving for happy customers.
All too often a property’s exterior is overlooked but the fact is your driveway is the first thing you see when you return home and the first thing others will notice too. A well-tended, beautifully laid driveway can add to the tranquillity you feel at the end of the day so it is important that you get it just right. We pride ourselves on the high standards we achieve for each customer, working closely with our customers to understand their needs and provide them with hard wearing, attractive exteriors, guaranteed to add kerb appeal.
For Active Drives, there is no job too big or too small. We understand the importance of preparation and use high quality materials to provide an excellent finish.

Review by Alex Chisholm
on 6th April 2024
"First class work and attention to detail by John & his team who have great pride in the work they do. As well as extending our drive a couple of drain covers were re-laid as they had not been properly fixed by the house builders. I would recommend Active Drives for any landscaping work and will have no hesitation in using them again for any future projects."

Kris Robertson - Image 1 "From start to finish John and his team nailed it! Great hard working team who make sure the job is done to complete customer satisfaction. Communication throughout was superb meaning I was clear on what was being done daily, despite working. The team leave zero mess and are considerate to neighbours and my own needs. If you have an issue you can easily discuss it with John and he will make sure it’s resolved. Cannot recommend Active Drives enough. They give you confidence that they will get the job done to a high standard with excellent customer service. Thanks John."
