Local knowledge

Why Andover homeowners choose Direct Paving Group

Andover is a strong coverage area with a real mix of property styles, Victorian and Edwardian houses in the town centre, extensive post-war housing across East Anton and Picket Piece, plus the newer developments at Augusta Park and Picket Twenty. It's an area where we install every kind of driveway surface, and where our full landscaping and fencing services come into their own, many Andover gardens are larger than the county average and benefit from a coordinated hard + soft scheme.

Local conditions

Common issues we fix in Andover

Every location has its own quirks, soil, drainage, property age, planning constraints. Here's what we see most often when we quote in Andover, and how we build against each of them.

Chalk substrate issues on the western outskirts

The ground west of Andover sits on chalk that drains well in summer but can settle unpredictably under a poorly-built driveway sub-base. Our spec accounts for this, MOT Type 1 compacted in engineered lifts, with a geotextile membrane where the site demands it.

Larger rural-edge plots needing coordinated schemes

Many Andover properties, especially in Charlton, Anna Valley and Enham Alamein, have larger plots where a driveway, patio, boundary fencing and landscaping all need to be designed and installed together for the result to look coherent. One team, one guarantee, one coordinated scheme.

Fencing exposed to open-country westerlies

Andover's western and rural-edge properties get significant wind loading. Standard panel fences on hand-driven spikes fail quickly. We concrete every post 600mm+ into the ground and specify concrete posts or heavier timber on the most exposed rears.

Older resin drives that were installed on the wrong sub-base

Andover has a number of resin drives fitted in the last 5–10 years on inadequate bases, cracks, ponding, delamination, or colour issues from non-UV-stable resin. Where the base is beyond overlay, we excavate and rebuild. Where the base is sound, we can overlay properly.
