Driveways, Patios & Fencing in Heslington

Paving and fencing for Heslington homes

York Paving and Fencing designs and installs driveways, patios and boundaries for homeowners in Heslington and nearby Fulford and Osbaldwick and Dunnington. Here’s what’s worth thinking about locally:

• Landlords and homeowners here often ask for low-maintenance surfaces — resin bound or block paving drives and porcelain patios are ideal.
• Robust fencing and secure side gates are popular where gardens back onto paths and open land.
• Parts of the old village are a conservation area, so we’ll flag anything that may need consent before work starts.

Typical projects in Heslington

Heslington has a historic village street, family homes on the surrounding roads and many properties let to students and staff at the University of York. Landlords usually want hard-wearing, low-maintenance surfaces: block paving or resin bound drives, porcelain patios and robust fencing that will not need attention every year.

For homeowners, the village’s conservation area means front boundaries and surfaces should be in keeping with the street. We are happy to talk through options that look right and meet the permeable surfacing rules for front gardens. Side gates are a common request where gardens back on to footpaths; see our garden and side gates page.
