Hampshire Driveways is a family-owned and family-run driveway company that’s been installing block paving, tarmac and resin driveways in Southampton for nearly three decades. We’re not a national chain or a sales operation — we’re one Hampshire family that has been doing this kind of work, properly, since 1996.
Southampton is one of our busiest areas. Our family team installs driveways across Bassett, Highfield, Bitterne, Bishopstoke, Portswood, Sholing, Shirley, Lordshill, Millbrook and beyond. That local knowledge matters. We know which surfaces handle the soil, the weather and the typical access constraints of Southampton properties — and we know what looks right against the housing styles that are most common here.
Southampton’s housing stock is hugely varied — large detached homes in Bassett, terraced rows in Shirley and Portswood, Victorian semis in Highfield. Each calls for a different driveway approach. As a family business we take the time to design something that fits, rather than rolling out the same template on every job.
Every driveway we install in Southampton starts with a free site visit from a member of our family team. We measure up, talk through what you actually want, take some photos, and produce a clear written quote with material specifications, drainage plan and a fixed price. No high-pressure sales, no “today only” discounts — just an honest quote from a family business.

Southampton Driveway FAQs
Are you really a family business?
Yes — Hampshire Driveways has been owned and operated by the same Hampshire family since 1996. The people who quote your Southampton driveway are the same family team that installs it. No franchise, no subcontractors.
How much does a driveway in Southampton cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, drainage and any walls or edgings. As a rough family-business guide, smaller Southampton block paved driveways typically start from around £3,500, mid-size driveways with proper drainage and edging tend to be £6,000-£12,000, and larger or premium Southampton projects scale from there. Every quote is in writing with no hidden extras.
How long will my Southampton driveway take to install?
Most residential Southampton driveways take 5-10 working days from excavation to final finish, depending on size, materials and weather. Larger projects with walls or substantial groundwork may take two to three weeks. You get a written schedule with your quote.
Do you cover the villages around Southampton?
Yes — our family team covers Southampton itself plus all the surrounding villages and parishes. We’ve worked across the whole of Hampshire and the bordering counties for nearly 30 years.
Do I need planning permission for a new Southampton driveway?
You need planning permission if you’re creating a non-permeable driveway over 5 square metres that drains onto the public highway. Most of our Southampton installations use permeable surfaces (resin-bound, permeable block paving) or are designed with soakaways or linear drainage, so they’re SUDS-compliant from the start and no permission is needed.
