Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees when they arrive at your home, so it should be both functional and beautiful. At Green Onion Landscaping, we specialise in driveways and block paving, crafting durable surfaces that enhance curb appeal. Plus, we’ve spent over 30 years serving homeowners across Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Teesside, and the wider Tees Valley.

Why Invest in a Professional Driveway?

Whether you need somewhere clean to park your car, or simply want to boost your kerb appeal, a well-built driveway adds value and convenience. It also stands up to daily use and, over time, requires very little maintenance.

Choosing the Right Material

To find the right material, start by thinking about how you’ll use your driveway. Next, review your budget and maintenance preferences. Then, factor in any environmental concerns. Below are our most popular options for driveways:

Standard Block Paving

• Durable and practical
• Available in a wide range of colours
• Individual blocks can be replaced if damaged

Permeable Block Paving

• Helps prevent surface flooding by letting water drain away
• Stops moss and weeds from taking hold
• Works with rainwater harvesting and sustainable drainage systems

Gravel

• Quick and cost-effective to install
• Minimal upkeep
• Adds a charming, rustic look

Concrete

• Solid, long-lasting surface
• More budget-friendly
• Perfect for heavy-use or commercial driveways

How to Decide on Style & Layout

Firstly, measure the size and shape of your space so you know what you’re working with. Then, pick patterns and colour schemes that suit your home’s style. Finally, choose a layout that highlights your property’s best features.

• Short drives: Block paving with decorative borders
• Long or private drives: Gravel or concrete for extra durability
• Eco-friendly options: Permeable paving to manage rainwater

Environmental Considerations

When heavy rain hits, (which it does an awful lot in England), traditional driveways can make flooding worse. New regulations favour more sustainable solutions, so permeable block paving is now often a better choice. It meets legal requirements and helps protect your garden and foundations from excess water.

Our Process

Consultation

Firstly, we begin by discussing your needs, budget, and site conditions.

Design

Secondly, we recommend the best paving materials, patterns, and drainage options for your driveway project.

Installation

Thirdly, our skilled paving installers bring our plans to life, laying each block, stone, or gravel layer with precision.

Aftercare

Finally, we provide tips and advice to keep your new driveway looking its best for years to come. For example we offer jet washing services and driveway sealing services. Both of these services will help keep your driveway clean and preserve it’s appearance over time.
