We just had ours done. We used elite pave based in hemel Hempstead - I would recommend if you're are anywhere nearby. We had tegular block paving, it is a massive upgrade from gravel!
I'm having a nightmare with SuDS at the moment. 50K driveway, and all sorts of issues relating to this. I look around, and everyone's just slapping down resin\non-perm tarmac\pressed concrete without a care in the world and the council don't seem to bat an eye-lid. I must be doing something wrong.
You want it to look as though you park on grass? Both look like horrendous options surely, designed more for an overflow carpark or hidden access road over a field or similar?So we recently went to the Grand Designs exhibition at the NEC and decided to go with one of these 2 options:
https://www.marshalls.co.uk/gardens-and-driveways/product/grassguard-permeable-paving
https://ecogrid.co.uk/ - A driveway made out of recycled plastic that still allows grass to grow on it...although that means it still needs to be mowed! This is what we plan to try out as soon as possible.
Happy driveway planning folks
