Common questions
Things people
ask us most.
A few of the questions we hear regularly. If yours isn't covered, just get in touch — we're always happy to talk through options before a project starts.
What areas do you cover?
We're based in Solihull and serve the wider West Midlands — including Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, Knowle, Dorridge, Shirley, Olton, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden. Drop us a line if you're nearby and we'll let you know.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes — every quote is free and no-obligation. We visit your property, discuss the project in detail and provide a written specification with fixed pricing. You get clear costs upfront, with no surprises later.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, Cornerstone Driveways & Landscapes is fully insured for public liability, and all our installations come with a written workmanship guarantee. We're happy to share documentation on request.
How long does a new driveway take to install?
Most standard residential driveways take between three and seven working days depending on size, surface choice and groundwork. Resin-bound projects can be completed quicker; full block paving with substantial groundwork or drainage takes longer. We confirm exact timing in your quote and stick to the dates we commit to.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
If your driveway is under 5m² or uses a permeable surface such as resin-bound or gravel, planning permission is usually not required. For larger non-permeable driveways, or anything affecting the public highway, planning permission or a dropped kerb application may be needed. We'll advise you as part of your quote and can help with the paperwork.
Which type of driveway is best?
It depends on budget, aesthetics and use. Block paving is the most popular for kerb appeal and longevity. Resin-bound offers a clean, modern look with permeable drainage built in. Tarmac is cost-effective for larger areas. Gravel is the most affordable and traditional, ideal for country properties. We'll talk you through the options based on your property and how you use it.
How much does a new driveway cost?
Driveway costs vary significantly with size, surface, groundwork and drainage. A small block paving driveway typically starts in the low thousands; larger or more complex installations can be substantially more. The honest answer is that we'd rather visit your property and give you an accurate fixed price than quote a vague range online.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes — every Cornerstone installation comes with a workmanship warranty. If anything we've installed doesn't perform as it should, we come back and put it right. Manufacturer warranties on materials apply separately and we'll always pass these on to you in writing.
