Driveways, Patios & Fencing in Acomb

Paving and fencing for Acomb homes

York Paving and Fencing designs and installs driveways, patios and boundaries for homeowners in Acomb and nearby Poppleton and Copmanthorpe. Here’s what’s worth thinking about locally:

• A tidy block-paved or resin front drive makes a big difference on Acomb’s semi-detached streets, and usually frees up the road outside too.
• Older Acomb gardens often have tired concrete paths and crumbling walls; replacing them with a matching path and a low brick wall can transform the frontage.
• Back gardens are typically long and narrow — perfect for a patio near the house, a path down the garden and fresh closeboard fencing either side.

Typical projects in Acomb

Acomb’s streets of 1930s and post-war semis and terraces usually have short front gardens, so turning one into off-road parking is the job we are asked about most. That normally means removing a low wall or hedge, digging out the garden, building a compacted sub-base and laying block paving or resin, often with a new dropped kerb approved by City of York Council.

At the back, long narrow gardens suit a patio next to the house, a straight path down to a shed or lawn and new fencing on both sides. Because terraces share boundaries, we will talk through which fences are yours to replace and how to keep neighbours informed. If you only need part of a fence fixing, see our fence repairs page.
