"I recently had work done by Pat and his team. I had a free quote and Pat took the time to talk through my options. Once I decided what I wanted, they started work quickly and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I would 100% use this company again and recommend them to my friends and family."

"I started Cherwell Drives & Patios with one simple rule - if I wouldn't accept it on my own house, it doesn't go on yours. Most of our work today comes from word of mouth and second jobs from happy customers. That's how I know we're doing it right."

FAQs

Answers to the most common questions we get.

We aim to call you back the same day during working hours. From there we'll book a free survey at a time that suits you, usually within a few days, to measure up and talk through designs.

Yes. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation visit where we measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through materials and layout. You get a fixed written quote afterwards - no pressure and no pushy sales talk.

Most domestic driveways and patios take between three days and a week, depending on the size of the area, how much excavation is needed and the weather. We give you a realistic start and finish date with the quote, and we don't start a job we can't see through.

Yes. Every driveway and patio we lay is covered by a 5-year guarantee, on top of any manufacturer warranty on the paving itself. We've been doing this for 21 years and have laid over 5,000 driveways and patios, so we stand behind the work.

Block paving, natural Indian sandstone, porcelain, and decorative gravel, plus artificial grass and edging to finish the space off. We'll bring samples to the survey and show you photos of jobs we've done in the same material so you can see how it weathers, rather than picking off a brochure.

For a front driveway, you'll need planning permission only if you're laying more than five square metres of non-permeable surfacing without somewhere for the water to drain. We design every driveway to drain properly - either using permeable paving or by directing run-off to a border or soakaway - so in practice permission is rarely needed. Rear patios are almost always permitted development.

We're based in Oxfordshire and cover Oxford, Witney, Kidlington, Woodstock and the surrounding villages. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call or request a quote and we'll let you know straight away.

We take a deposit once the job is booked in, which covers the materials, then the balance on completion when you're happy with it. Everything is set out in writing before you commit.
