Why We Stand Out Among Driveway Companies in Bournemouth
Established in 1956, Wicks is a family-run surfacing company based in Dorset. With over 60 years in the trade and skills passed down through three generations, we have completed hundreds of driveways for happy customers.
No project is too big or too small. We are fully insured, proud Checkatrade members, and many of our new customers come through personal recommendations.

Bournemouth Driveway Specialists for a Finish That Lasts
As Bournemouth driveway specialists, we know the real strength of a drive lies beneath the surface. We excavate properly, lay a compacted sub-base and plan drainage before any tarmac, gravel or resin driveways go down. The result is a smooth, solid driveway that looks great for years.
How Your New Driveway Comes Together
We start with a visit to understand your needs, measure the area and check the ground. Together we choose the surface, colours and any paving details, and you receive a clear quote covering every cost.
Once you give the go-ahead, we agree a start date that suits you. Our team works quickly and neatly, often finishing in a day or two, and we leave your property clean and tidy.
TARMAC DRIVEWAY INSTALLATION SERVICE
We offer a comprehensive service for the installation of driveways in Bournemouth. Our team will sit down with you to discuss your requirements and help you come up with a design to suit them. Once we have created a design, we will offer you a free, no-obligation quote that covers all costs upfront.
When we are given the go-ahead, we will arrange a date to begin the installation. Our team works quickly and efficiently, paying attention to the smallest of details, ensuring you receive the highest quality surface. Once we have completed the installation, we will make sure you are happy with the results before leaving, with the site clean and tidy.
Types of Driveways
RESIN BOND DRIVEWAYS
Resin bound driveways mix aggregate and resin into a smooth, permeable surface that lets rainwater drain away, and the UV-stable resin keeps its colour. Resin bonded systems spread resin over a prepared tarmac or concrete base, scatter it with kiln-dried aggregate, then cure and seal it for a textured, non-slip finish. Both are easy to clean with a brush, hose or low-pressure wash up to 1.5 bar. Learn more about our resin bond surfacing.

GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS
Gravel is the budget-friendly choice with plenty of character. With many colours, textures and stone sizes, it is easy to create a look that is all your own. It drains naturally, keeping puddles away and helping replenish groundwater.
COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAYS
We surface driveways, car parks and estate roads for businesses across Bournemouth. Because downtime costs money, we plan the work carefully and finish on schedule.
DOMESTIC DRIVEWAYS
Whether you need a full replacement or an upgrade, we build practical, attractive driveways that add kerb appeal and value to your home.
BESPOKE DRIVEWAYS
Combine block paving with tarmac, resin or gravel to create eye-catching borders, patterns and contrasts. We can also create bespoke resin designs using mixed aggregates, so your driveway is truly unique.
FAQS
WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST DRIVEWAY SURFACING?
Gravel is usually the lowest-cost option. The final price also depends on the size of the area, the groundwork needed and any edging, so larger driveways cost more than smaller ones.
What is the most affordable driveway surface?
It depends on your budget, style and how you use the space. Tarmac is tough and low-maintenance, resin offers colour and a premium finish, and gravel gives natural charm for less. We are happy to help you choose.
Which driveway material is best for my property?
Every driveway we install, regardless of the material used, is built to be long-lasting. The surface will last for longer if it is properly maintained too, so whichever material you choose, you will receive a drive that will last.
Which type of driveway lasts the longest?
Tarmac and resin are both extremely durable, and every driveway we install is built to last. Regular sweeping and occasional washing will keep any surface in top condition for longer.
How much does a new driveway cost in Bournemouth?
It depends on the surface, the size of the area and the ground conditions. [Contact us](Contact Us page URL) for a free, no-obligation site visit and an accurate quote.
How long does it take to install a driveway?
Many driveways are completed in as little as one day. Larger or more detailed projects can take a little longer, and we give you a clear timeline upfront.
