Driveways, Patios & Fencing in Haxby

Paving and fencing for Haxby homes

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

• Many Haxby front gardens were laid to lawn with a narrow single-car drive. Widening to a two-car driveway is one of the most common upgrades — and usually needs a wider dropped kerb, which has to be approved by City of York Council.
• Back gardens here tend to be generous, so a patio that steps down to the lawn, a new boundary fence and a gate to the side passage are often done as one project.
• On new-build plots on the edge of the village, builders’ fences and thin patio slabs are frequently the first thing owners want replacing.

Typical driveway, patio and fencing projects in Haxby

Haxby and Wigginton grew quickly from the 1960s onwards, so many homes still have their original concrete drives, slab paths and panel fences. Those surfaces are now well past their best: concrete cracks along the joints, slabs rock underfoot and fence posts rot at ground level. The most common jobs here are replacing a single-width concrete drive with a wider block paved or resin bound one, relaying a sunken back patio, and swapping tired panels for closeboard fencing on concrete posts.

If you are widening a drive on to the road, the extra width of dropped kerb has to be approved by City of York Council before any work happens on the pavement. We plan the driveway layout around the crossing you are allowed, so you are not left with a drive that is wider than the kerb in front of it.
