Driveways for Coundon's 1930s streets

Coundon's semis and detached houses were built when car ownership was new, and their generous frontages are now mostly drives. Brindle and charcoal block paving is the established look, with resin bound gaining ground on refurbished houses. Tarmac with a block edge is the value alternative and looks sharp against the red brick.

Practical points for Coundon plots

A typical Coundon job is a full conversion or a replacement: old concrete or tired tarmac out, 150 to 200mm sub-base in, new surface laid, dropped kerb approved by Coventry City Council where one is missing. The area's clay ground moves with the seasons, so sub-base depth and edge restraints are the lines to interrogate in any quote.

Typical Coundon prices

A two-car drive of 45 to 55m2 typically quotes £2,300 to £5,500: gravel from £30/m2, tarmac from £45/m2, block paving and resin from £70/m2.
