Driveways & Paving - Coatbridge Client Information

When choosing the right surface for your Coatbridge driveway, it’s important to strike the right balance between appearance and practicality. Block paving is a popular option because of its attractive finish and the flexibility to create a variety of colours and patterns. It’s durable and simple to repair—individual blocks can be replaced if needed—although occasional maintenance and weeding will help keep it looking its best.

Monoblock driveways, usually built with concrete blocks, offer a smart, modern look and are both cost-effective and quick to install. However, if the joints are not sealed properly, weeds can sometimes grow through.

For a more natural style, gravel driveways are budget-friendly and provide excellent drainage, making them ideal for larger areas. The gravel can shift over time, so periodic raking or topping up may be necessary.

A resin-bound surface gives a smooth, permeable finish with a premium appearance and very little upkeep, although the initial cost is higher. Tarmac (asphalt) is another robust and economical choice that copes well with heavy traffic, though it is less decorative and may soften during very hot weather.

At Briarlea Landscapes, we work with homeowners across Coatbridge and nearby areas such as Airdrie, Bellshill, Bargeddie, Glenboig, Gartcosh and Baillieston to help select the driveway material that best suits your budget, lifestyle and the character of your property.
