Driveway Company in Broxburn
Prestige Paving & Landscaping Ltd has spent more than 20 years laying driveways, patios and paths across Central Scotland. Broxburn sits right in the middle of the area we work in every week, so we’re never far away, and you deal with one small team from the free survey to the final sweep-up. There are no call centres and no subcontractors turning up on the day.
What lies underneath decides how long a driveway lasts. Before any blocks, resin, chips or tarmac go down, we excavate to the right depth, lay a weed membrane and build a crushed-stone sub-base compacted in layers. It’s the reason our driveways stay flat and tidy long after cheaper jobs have started to dip and rut.

- A fixed written quote, with no extras added later
- A tidy crew who clear every bit of waste away

Monoblocking & block paving in Broxburn
Monoblock Driveways in Broxburn
Monoblock is the driveway most Broxburn homeowners ask us for. It’s tough, smart and comes in a huge choice of colours, patterns and borders.
Prestige Paving lay monoblock driveways throughout Broxburn, Uphall and the surrounding villages, from single-car front drives to wide double driveways with turning areas and matching paths. Monoblocking gives you a hard-wearing surface that stands up to frost, heavy rain and daily traffic, and it lifts the look of the whole house.
We start by digging out the old surface and building a compacted stone sub-base, then set the kerbs and edging in concrete so the blocks can’t spread. The blocks go down on a screeded sand bed, are cut cleanly around every edge, manhole and step, and are then brushed with kiln-dried sand and compacted to lock them together.
Falls are set so water runs away from your walls and doors, and because every block is laid separately, a section can be lifted and relaid later if you ever need access underneath, with no patchwork repairs.
Block Paving Styles
Herringbone pattern
The strongest pattern for driveways. Blocks lock together and resist movement from turning tyres.
Contrasting borders
A charcoal, red or Sky Cobble border frames the drive. A favourite finishing touch on Broxburn driveways.
Tumbled & cobble blocks
Rumbled blocks such as Sky Cobble give a softer, traditional look that suits the older stone-built homes around Broxburn.
Permeable block paving
Wider joints filled with fine stone let rain soak through, helping drainage and planning compliance.
Feature details
Inset diamonds, bands, curves and steps, with colours chosen to suit your brick, render and roof.
Re-lays & replacements
Sunken or tired block paving lifted, the base rebuilt, and relaid or replaced with new blocks.
How we build it
From dig-out to finished drive
A real Prestige Paving job, step by step: an overgrown front garden turned into off-street parking with a block border.
Free survey & quote
We visit, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk you through surfaces, colours and borders. You get a fixed written price.
Dig-out & groundwork
We excavate to the right depth, remove the waste, lay a weed membrane and install any drainage the driveway needs.
Compacted sub-base
A deep layer of crushed stone is laid and compacted in stages: the foundation that stops a driveway sinking or rutting.
Edging & borders
Kerbs and border blocks are set in concrete so the edges stay crisp and the surface can’t spread.
Your chosen surface
Monoblock, resin, tarmac or gravel is laid, levelled and finished by hand, with falls set so water runs away from your house.
Clean-up & handover
We clear every bit of waste, sweep and wash down, and walk you round the finished job.
Local know-how
Driveways for every type of Broxburn home
Broxburn has everything from old stone terraces to brand-new estates, and each one needs a slightly different approach.
Front garden conversions
On busy streets around the town centre, Kirkhill and Greendykes, we turn front gardens into off-street parking, with a dropped kerb arranged through West Lothian Council if you need one.
Older stone-built homes
Tumbled blocks, cobble borders and natural stone patios suit Broxburn’s traditional sandstone houses and cottages better than a flat, modern finish.
New-build upgrades
Homes in Winchburgh, East Mains and newer estates often come with a basic builder’s drive. We widen it, add a border or replace it with monoblock or resin.
Sloping driveways
Steeper drives around Dechmont, Bangour and Uphall need careful levels, steps and drainage channels so water is carried away instead of towards the house.
Wider drives for more cars
Extending an existing driveway to fit a second or third car, matched to the blocks or surface you already have wherever possible.
Drainage done properly
Permeable surfaces, channel drains and soakaways keep surface water on your own property, which is usually what keeps you clear of planning permission.
Resin bound driveways
Resin Driveways in Broxburn
A resin-bound driveway gives your home a smooth, seamless finish that looks high-end and is very easy to look after. Natural decorative aggregate is mixed with a clear, UV-stable resin on site and hand-trowelled to a flat, even surface with no loose stones to kick around.
Because resin-bound surfaces are fully porous, rain soaks straight through instead of pooling or running into the street, which helps with planning rules. We use Daltex blends such as Oyster and Platinum, usually finished with a crisp block border.
- Laid over a sound existing base or a new permeable one
- No loose chips, weeds or ruts
- Colour-stable resin that won’t turn yellow

Tarmacadam driveways
Tarmac Driveways in Broxburn
Tarmacadam is hard to beat on value, which makes it a popular choice in Broxburn for long driveways, shared access and drives that see a lot of cars. It gives a neat, dark finish that really stands out when it’s framed with a block or cobble edge.
We lay it over a compacted stone base with edging bedded in concrete, then roll it hot so it’s dense and tightly bonded. The result is a smooth surface that stays level and copes well with frost.
- Contrasting block and Sky Cobble edging
- New off-street parking from front gardens
- Most tarmac driveways finished in a day or two
Gravel & chip driveways
Gravel Driveways in Broxburn
A gravel or stone chip driveway is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to create parking, and it drains naturally. The key is the groundwork: firm edging and a compacted base stop the stone spreading and keep tyres from sinking in.
Gravel and slate chips also work well alongside slabs or monoblock, giving you a low-maintenance front garden that stays tidy through the seasons.
- Decorative gravel, slate and stone chips
- Stabilising grids on slopes and turning areas
- Solid block or kerb edging to keep stones in place
Patios & paving
Patios in Broxburn
A well-built patio gives you an outdoor space you’ll actually use: flat, firm underfoot and quick to dry after rain. We lay slab and natural stone patios, paths and steps across Broxburn and West Lothian, from a small seating area to a complete back-garden makeover.
On one recent West Lothian job in Blackburn we laid Brookstone slabs in Sky and Meadow Stone in a two-tone pattern, finished with new lawns and smart edging.
- Porcelain, concrete and natural stone slabs
- Garden paths, steps and handrails
- Gentle falls so water runs away from the house
Repairs & restoration
Driveway Repairs in Broxburn
A tired driveway doesn’t always need replacing. When the blocks or slabs are still sound, a deep clean, re-sand and seal, or lifting and relaying a dipped section, can bring it back to life for far less than a new drive.
Where a driveway has failed because it was never built on a proper base, we’ll tell you straight that replacing it is the only lasting answer, as with this West Lothian drive where worn red paving made way for new Sky Cobble monoblock.
- Sunken or rutted monoblock lifted, re-based and relaid
- Pressure washing, re-sanding and sealing
- Loose kerbs reset and standing water fixed
Garden landscaping
Landscaping in Broxburn
Once the new driveway is down, lots of our customers want the garden to match. We handle both the hard and soft landscaping ourselves, so the whole job is one team, one price and one finish from the front gate to the back fence.
- Fresh turf or artificial grass
- Edging, planting borders and decorative stone
- Sleeper raised beds, fencing and complete garden makeovers

Good to know
Driveway questions we’re often asked
How much does a new driveway cost in Broxburn?
It depends on the size of the drive, how much ground has to come out, access for the digger and skip, and the surface and border you pick. Monoblock and resin cost more per square metre than tarmac or gravel, but last longer with less upkeep. We survey every driveway in Broxburn for free and give you a fixed written price, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.
What’s the difference between monoblock and block paving?
There isn’t one. Monoblock is simply the Scottish name for concrete block paving. If you’re looking for monoblocking in Broxburn, Uphall or Winchburgh, it’s the same product and the same installation method.
Can you turn my front garden into a driveway?
Yes, it’s one of the jobs we do most often in Broxburn, especially on streets where parking is tight. We dig out the garden, build a proper sub-base and lay monoblock, tarmac or resin. If you need a dropped kerb, it has to be approved by West Lothian Council, and we can explain how that works when we survey.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway in West Lothian?
Usually not, as long as rainwater drains within your own property. That means a permeable surface such as resin-bound, gravel or permeable block paving, or falls that run water to a lawn, border or soakaway. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, and any new or widened dropped kerb needs council consent. We’ll check your property when we visit.
How long will my driveway take?
Most Broxburn driveways are finished in one to four days. Tarmac and gravel drives are often done in a day or two, while larger monoblock and resin driveways with borders and steps take a little longer. We give you a start date and a timescale before any work begins.
Why do some driveways sink or crack?
Almost always because the base underneath was too thin or wasn’t compacted properly. We dig out to the correct depth, lay a membrane and build up a compacted crushed-stone sub-base, with edging set in concrete, before the surface goes down. That’s what keeps a drive level for years.
Will weeds come through a monoblock driveway?
A membrane and properly filled joints keep weeds to a minimum. Over the years a little moss or windblown seed can settle in the joints, and an occasional clean, re-sand and seal keeps it looking new. We offer that service too.

Yes, all of our work is guaranteed. We’re also a vetted Checkatrade member, rated 9.83/10 from 50 verified reviews, and Checkatrade’s £1,000 guarantee applies to eligible jobs (their T&Cs apply).
