A local team that starts with the ground

Bulbourne Driveways & Patios is a team of eight based in Berkhamsted. We have been laying driveways and patios across west Hertfordshire since 2011.

Everyone who works on your driveway is employed by us. We do not knock on doors or offer same-day discounts, and the person who surveys your job checks it at each stage until it is finished.

About us

“A driveway is only as good as what is underneath it, so that is where we spend our time.”

Claire worked as a site engineer for a civil engineering firm on roads and car parks across Hertfordshire before starting Bulbourne in 2011.

She surveys every job herself, checks the levels and the drainage before we quote, and visits each site on the day the sub-base goes in. The business is named after the river that runs beside the canal through Berkhamsted, a short walk from our yard.

How we work

Fixed prices in writing

Every quote lists each item and includes VAT. The price we give is the price you pay.

The base done properly

Dug to the right depth and compacted in layers, because that is what makes a driveway last.

A tidy site

The pavement kept clear, skips placed with permits, and the site swept every evening.
