Enhance your home's kerb appeal with a durable, low maintenance concrete driveway. We deliver professional groundworks, expert finishing, and long-lasting results for Cardiff properties.
Get a Free QuoteConcrete is one of the most popular materials for driveways—and for good reason. It’s strong, long-lasting, and incredibly low-maintenance, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like driveways and parking spaces.
When installed correctly, a concrete driveway can last for decades with minimal upkeep. It can be customised with different textures and finishes, and it offers excellent value for money over time.
Cardiff homeowners often choose concrete for its clean appearance, practicality, and performance in wet weather. Whether you're replacing an old surface or building from scratch, our team delivers durable, polished results you can count on.
We begin by clearing the existing surface and excavating to the correct depth. This ensures your driveway has a solid base that prevents future cracks or sinking. Proper drainage planning starts here.
We build timber formwork to outline the driveway shape and install reinforcement such as steel mesh or rebar. This adds strength and helps the concrete withstand heavy vehicle traffic.
Concrete is poured in stages and expertly levelled to avoid dips or pooling. We ensure even distribution and proper curing conditions so your driveway is smooth, strong, and built to last.
You can choose from different surface finishes such as brushed, exposed aggregate, or smooth trowel. These options improve grip, match your home’s aesthetic, and reduce surface wear over time.
We offer extras like edge detailing, expansion joints, drainage solutions, and protective sealants. These additions increase lifespan, improve water flow, and enhance your driveway’s overall appearance.
We complete most driveway installations within a single day, depending on size and complexity. Our team works efficiently and leaves your property clean and ready to use, with clear guidance on curing time and care.
We don’t just lay concrete — we build lasting trust with every driveway we install.
From sub-base to final finish, our team brings years of hands-on experience in driveway installation across Cardiff. We understand soil conditions, traffic loads, and how to build a base that lasts for decades.
We know Cardiff streets — from narrow terraced drives to larger suburban builds. Our familiarity with local planning rules, drainage considerations, and materials helps us get things done right the first time.
Your driveway is built to handle vehicles, weather, and time. We don’t cut corners — every pour is reinforced, compacted, and finished to spec. We back it with a guarantee for total peace of mind.
No muddy mess or missed calls here. We’re punctual, professional, and leave your site spotless. Our goal is to make your life easier — and your driveway flawless.
Most concrete driveway installations take 2 to 4 days from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity. This includes ground preparation, formwork, pouring, and finishing. After installation, you'll need to allow time for curing—typically 24 to 48 hours before walking on it, and 7 days before driving vehicles on the surface.
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission unless your driveway drains to the street or is part of a listed building. We’re familiar with Cardiff council guidelines and can advise during your quote. We design every installation to comply with local drainage and surface runoff rules, ensuring your driveway is both legal and long-lasting.
The finish depends on your needs. A brushed finish is popular for its grip and clean look. Exposed aggregate offers texture and visual appeal, while smooth trowel finishes give a more modern feel. We’ll walk you through all options and help you choose a finish that suits your property, traffic levels, and maintenance preferences.
Concrete driveways require minimal upkeep. Regular sweeping and occasional power washing will keep it looking fresh. We recommend resealing the surface every few years to protect against stains, moisture, and surface wear. Avoid de-icing salts in winter, and don’t park extremely heavy vehicles on thin slabs to preserve strength.
Yes — we offer full removal of old surfaces including tarmac, block paving, gravel, or broken concrete. We’ll handle excavation, disposal, and levelling to prepare the perfect base for your new concrete driveway. This ensures your new surface is installed on a stable foundation with long-term durability.
A well-installed concrete driveway can last decades — but a little routine care goes a long way in preserving its strength, appearance, and performance. Here’s how to keep your surface looking sharp all year round:
Clean your driveway every few months using a soft brush or pressure washer on a low setting. This helps remove algae, leaves, and grime that can stain over time. Avoid acidic cleaners — stick to pH-neutral soap and rinse well with clean water.
We recommend resealing your concrete every 2–3 years, depending on traffic and exposure to the elements. A good sealer protects against moisture, UV damage, and stains, and keeps the surface looking clean and slightly enhanced in colour.
Cardiff winters can be harsh on outdoor surfaces. Avoid using de-icing salts or chemicals — they can deteriorate concrete over time. Use sand for grip instead, and clear snow gently with a plastic shovel to avoid surface abrasion or chipping.
While concrete is strong, avoid parking heavy vehicles or skip bins on unsupported edges. This can lead to stress cracks. Keep your driveway free of water pooling, and notify us if you notice movement or sinking — early fixes are easier and cheaper.

Highley recommend LNS Creative Concrete. They recently completed a power floated garage floor for us. lyndon and alex were a pleasure to have on site. Their workmanship was second to none,we look forward to using them on future projects.
Power floated
Real pleasure dealing with the LNS team. They were on top of communication, quick to respond, and clear. They turned up the day before (on a Sunday!) to check everything and got the job done ahead of time the next day. Absolutely charming too. No hesitation in recommending this team
Polished concrete
Lyndon and team from LNS have just completed a fantastic concreting job on my new patio. I wanted a natural smooth power floated finish and LNS achieved exactly what I specified. Very professional approach and execution resulting in absolute excellence!
