Hemel Hempstead is the largest town in Dacorum, and its housing tells the story of decades of growth. The original New Town estates built from the 1950s onwards gave many homes their first driveways — surfaces that in many cases haven't been touched since. Alongside those older properties, developments like Chaulden Meadows are adding over a thousand new homes to the area, each with driveways that may need upgrading from a basic builder finish to something more durable and attractive.
From Adeyfield and Leverstock Green to Apsley and Boxmoor, the range of property types in Hemel Hempstead means there's no one-size-fits-all approach to driveways or patios. A terraced house on a 1960s estate has different needs to a detached home in Boxmoor or a new-build at Spencer's Park. That's why we take the time to visit every property before quoting — the right material and preparation depends entirely on what we're working with.
We install, repair, and maintain driveways and patios across Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding villages. For homeowners looking to replace an ageing surface, the options range from cost-effective tarmac resurfacing through to a full block paved or resin bound driveway. For existing driveways showing signs of wear, our repair and sealing services can extend the life of the surface without the cost of a complete replacement.
Hemel Hempstead homeowners frequently ask about block paving, tarmac driveways, driveway repairs, and resin bound driveways for modern upgrades. We also install patios and handle drainage and soakaway work where needed. Our full range of services is shown below.
This is what we do best.
We're a sole trader operation, which means when you book a job, you're dealing directly with the person who'll be on site doing the work. There are no account managers, no sales teams, and no subcontractors. That matters for a project like a driveway, where the quality of the groundwork and laying determines how long the surface will last. We carry full insurance, hold a waste carriers licence, and guarantee every installation for 12 months.
ACE Paving is based in the Berkhamsted area, just a short drive from Hemel Hempstead along the A41. That proximity means we can respond quickly, keep quotes competitive without factoring in long travel distances, and schedule work efficiently around the local area. We don't take deposits, and you'll have a written quote within three days of your site visit.
The cost of a new driveway or patio depends on several factors: the material you choose, the total area, the condition of the ground underneath, and whether the existing surface needs removing. In Hemel Hempstead, many older driveways sit on original sub-bases that may need replacing before a new surface can go down — something a site visit will confirm. Tarmac is typically the most affordable option for a full driveway, while block paving and resin bound sit higher but offer longer lifespans and better kerb appeal.
We don't publish set prices because every driveway is different. A compact two-car frontage in Adeyfield is a different job to a large detached driveway in Leverstock Green. What we do offer is a free site visit with a detailed written quote — no charge, no obligation, and usually back to you within three days. Get in touch to arrange yours.
