A well-built driveway does far more than tidy up the front of a property. It has to withstand daily vehicle use, manage surface water and give you practical access to your home, all while complementing the house behind it. ALS Landscaping has been designing and installing driveways across Lincoln and the wider Lincolnshire area since 2002, giving the team more than 20 years of hands-on experience.
Expert Driveways Lincoln
ALS Landscaping handles both domestic and commercial driveways Lincoln projects, from brand-new installations to full replacements of tired, uneven or poorly draining driveways. Whether you prefer the flexibility of block paving or the clean finish of resin, we design every driveway around your property, the space available and how you actually use it.
Correct preparation and drainage matter just as much as the surface you can see, and we manage the complete project from the ground up. ALS is also a Brett Premier Approved Installer, so you benefit from specialist experience and product knowledge on every job.
Professional Driveway Installers in Lincoln
Driveways Lincoln are one of the hardest-working parts of any home. It needs to cope with the weight of vehicles day after day, direct rainwater away from your property and provide safe, easy access to your front door and garage. When any of those things stop working, the whole space suffers.
Homeowners across Lincoln come to us for a range of reasons, including:
- Replacing old, damaged or uneven driveways
- Creating extra parking space
- Improving vehicle and pedestrian access
- Solving poor drainage and standing water
- Choosing a surface that suits the style of the house
- Adding defined pathways and clear entrances
- Incorporating borders, kerbs and finishing details
At ALS Landscaping, we manage the entire installation rather than simply laying a new surface over old ground. This includes proper excavation, a correctly built sub-base and drainage that suits the site, not just an attractive finish.
Driveway Options for Lincoln Homes
Every home is different, so we offer a choice of materials to suit your property, taste and budget. The two most popular options are block paving and resin-bound surfacing.
Block Paving Driveways
Block paving is one of the most flexible driveways Lincoln. With a huge range of colours, patterns, block sizes and edging options, it works beautifully on both traditional and contemporary homes. You can create contrasting borders, define entrances and pathways, and even lay individual blocks in eye-catching patterns for extra detail.
We work extensively with premium Brett paving ranges, which give homeowners plenty of choice when it comes to finish and colour. Our Lincoln projects show exactly what’s possible:
Resin Driveways
Resin-bound surfacing is a more contemporary choice, giving you a smooth, seamless finish that suits modern frontages particularly well. It comes in a variety of aggregate colours, allowing for complete customisation of your outdoor space, and it’s a low-maintenance surface built to handle regular vehicle use.
Resin driveways Lincoln can also be permeable, but that depends on the complete installation and the construction underneath rather than the surface alone. If you want a clean, simple driveway with minimal fuss, resin is well worth considering.
Driveways Lincoln Designed Around Your Property
At ALS Landscaping, we take a considered approach to driveways Lincoln, designing your driveway so it genuinely fits your home and how you use it. When we plan a driveway, we look at:
- The number of vehicles you need to park
- Available space and existing dimensions
- Vehicle and pedestrian access
- Garage access and routes to the front door
- Existing levels across the site
- Drainage and how surface water currently behaves
- The style and age of the property
- Existing front garden landscaping, borders and planting
- Kerbs, steps and pathways
Why Good Groundworks and Drainage Matter
Much of what determines how long a driveway lasts is hidden beneath the surface. A beautiful set of blocks means little if the ground underneath hasn’t been prepared correctly.
Proper installation involves:
- Excavating the existing surface
- Building a suitable sub-base
- Setting correct levels
- Thorough compaction to prevent movement and sinking
- Installing drainage channels
- Adding soakaways where appropriate
- Directing surface water away correctly
- Preparing the driveway for regular vehicle loads
We’ve seen first-hand what happens when this is skipped. On one Lincoln project, a driveway installed by the original housing developer around 20 years earlier had sunk, developed ruts and started flooding, all because the groundworks and drainage were never done properly.
The only real fix was to dig it out and start again. We rebuilt the driveway from scratch, installed new galvanised Aco drainage channels and laid Brett Alpha paving in Silver Haze with darker detailing to finish.
Our Driveway Installation Process
Every driveway is different, so the exact steps will depend on your site and chosen material. That said, most projects follow a clear path from first conversation to final finish.
- Consultation and site assessment: We discuss what you need from the driveway and inspect the existing area, access, levels and drainage.
- Driveway design: We settle on layout, materials, colours, paving patterns, borders and finishing details.
- Excavation and preparation: We remove the existing driveway where needed and prepare the ground and sub-base correctly.
- Drainage: We install or improve drainage to suit the site and the new driveway.
- Driveway installation: We lay your chosen block paving or resin system to the correct specification.
- Edging and finishing: We complete borders, kerbs, pathways, steps and other details before a final inspection.

Recent Driveway Projects in Lincoln
Real projects tell the story far better than general claims. Here are three completed driveways from around Lincoln.
Stunning Block Paved Driveway, Lincoln (North Hykeham)
The existing concrete driveway was unusable and suffered from inefficient drainage. We completely redesigned the frontage using Brett Invicta block paving in Onyx and Moonstone, installed a new soakaway with slot drainage, and incorporated artificial grass into the wider space. Brett was so impressed they later featured the project on their own channels. See the full block paved driveway project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new driveway cost in Lincoln?
There’s no single answer, because the price depends on several factors. Size, existing ground conditions, the amount of excavation required, drainage work, your choice of material, site access and the overall design all influence the final cost. The best way to get an accurate figure is to arrange a site assessment so we can quote based on your specific project.
Which type of driveway is best for my home?
It depends on what you’re after. Block paving offers enormous flexibility in colour, pattern and detailing, and suits both traditional and modern homes. Resin gives a smooth, seamless, low-maintenance finish that works well on contemporary frontages. Choose block paving if you want decorative flexibility and defined borders; choose resin if a clean, uniform surface matters most to you.
How long does driveway installation take?
This varies according to the size and complexity of the project. As a rough guide, several of our documented block paving driveways in Lincoln took around five days to a week, though your project could be shorter or longer depending on the groundworks, drainage and design involved. We’ll give you a clear timescale when we quote.
