Hampshire Driveways is a family-owned and family-run driveway company that’s been installing block paving, tarmac and resin driveways in Portsmouth 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.
Portsmouth driveways often have to cope with tight access, compact frontages and proper coastal weather. Our family team has been working across Portsmouth, Southsea, Cosham, Drayton, Hilsea and Paulsgrove for nearly 30 years and we know what works. That local knowledge matters. We know which surfaces handle the soil, the weather and the typical access constraints of Portsmouth properties — and we know what looks right against the housing styles that are most common here.
Portsmouth’s combination of salt air and close-quartered housing means jointing, drainage and edge restraint detailing all matter more than on inland jobs. Our family business uses higher-spec materials on Portsmouth installs and finishes everything to coastal-grade standards.
Every driveway we install in Portsmouth 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.

Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth driveway are the same family team that installs it. No franchise, no subcontractors.
How much does a driveway in Portsmouth cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, drainage and any walls or edgings. As a rough family-business guide, smaller Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth projects scale from there. Every quote is in writing with no hidden extras.
How long will my Portsmouth driveway take to install?
Most residential Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth?
Yes — our family team covers Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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.
