Quality Driveways in Essex - Local Essex Driveways Contractor
Professional Driveway Installers Essex
At Essex Drives & Paving, we build strong, long-lasting driveways, patios and paths for homes across Essex, including Harlow, Chelmsford, Colchester, Braintree, Basildon, Southend and surrounding towns. We have decades of practical experience installing quality driveways. Our team installs all types of surfaces, such as:
- Gravel and Imprinted Concrete
- Block Paving
- Tarmac & Asphalt
- Resin Driveways
- Patios, Garden Paths & Hard Landscaping
No two homes are the same, and the right driveway depends on your style, budget and how you plan to use it. Resin is a popular choice for a smart, low-maintenance finish, while paving gives a classic look that never dates. Tarmac and gravel are still great value and hold up well for everyday use. Whatever you have in mind, we’ll walk you through the options and can show you examples of driveways we’ve completed.
Unlike some driveway companies who push a single product, we fit a wide variety of materials. That means you get straightforward advice based on your site conditions, drainage, and style preference - not what’s easiest for us.
When it comes to Essex driveways, customers can rely on us to handle everything from new installations to full replacements, resurfacing and repairs. If you’re looking for driveways you can trust to last, get in touch today. We’ll arrange a free, no-obligation site visit, or provide an estimated quote if you send us your measurements.

Customer Testimonials
"We had our old driveway ripped out and replaced with a block paved one. From the first visit to the last day on site, the lads were polite, turned up when they said they would and worked hard. The finish is spot on and it’s made a huge difference to the front of the house. Couldn’t be happier."
— Mark T., Chelmsford
"These guys put in a resin drive for us and it’s completely changed the look of our place. Everything was explained clearly, the quote was fair, and the job was finished quicker than we expected. They even tidied up the garden path while they were here. Top marks from us."
