Driveways for every kind of Kettering house
From the tree-lined avenues of the Headlands to family homes in Barton Seagrave and Ise Lodge, Kettering's houses span a century and a half of good building — and their drives and gardens deserve the same standard. We install resin, block paving and tarmac driveways, porcelain patios and complete gardens across the town and its villages.
Kettering streets we work
The boot-and-shoe years left Kettering its best streets: the Headlands conservation area and the avenues around it, full of Victorian and Edwardian villas with brick detailing, original walls and frontages worth converting carefully. Tumbled block with contrasting borders and warm resin blends both belong here, laid out so gate piers and boundary walls keep doing their job.
Barton Seagrave and Ise Lodge bring the established family-home brief — double-width drives, tidy front gardens, generous rear gardens ready for porcelain terraces and proper lawns — while the growing developments around the town add new-build upgrade work. The villages — Geddington with its Eleanor Cross, Broughton, Pytchley, Cranford — give us the stone settings we know from home.
- Conservation-aware finishes for the Headlands and period streets
- Permeable resin and block as standard — drainage rules satisfied by design
- Dropped kerb applications handled through North Northamptonshire highways
- Full garden transformations with the same 5 year written guarantee

Ground, drainage and conservation in Kettering
Ground around Kettering ranges from ironstone to clay, and new-build plots are often compacted subsoil under a thin layer of topsoil. We check what is under each garden before choosing the base and the drainage.
Kettering has 26 conservation areas, including the town centre, Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Geddington and Rothwell. Its Article 4 directions are site-specific, mostly older ones covering individual streets or buildings, so we check your address before designing anything that faces the road.
The River Ise runs along the east of the town, with river level stations at Barford Bridge and Slade Brook.
