Driveway Company in Livingston
Prestige Paving & Landscaping Ltd has been laying driveways, patios and paths for over two decades. As driveway contractors in Livingston we work right across the town and West Lothian, and you deal with the same small team from the first visit to the final sweep-up: no call centres and no subcontractors you’ve never met.
The bit of a driveway you never see is the bit that matters most. We dig out to the correct depth, lay a membrane and build up a properly compacted stone sub-base before a single block, chip or bag of tarmac goes down. That’s why our driveways don’t sink, rut or grow weeds a year later.
- Honest advice. We won’t upsell you something you don’t need
- Fixed written quotes with no hidden extras
- Tidy, respectful crew who leave your property spotless
- Domestic and commercial work, cards accepted
Monoblocking & block paving in Livingston
Monoblock Driveways in Livingston
Monoblock driveways are the most popular driveway we lay in Livingston: classic, hard-wearing and available in almost any colour, pattern and border.
Prestige Paving install monoblock driveways across Livingston and West Lothian, from small front drives to large double driveways, turning areas and paths. Whether you call it monoblocking or block paving, it gives you a strong, hard-wearing surface that copes with Scottish winters and adds real kerb appeal to your home.
Every monoblock driveway we lay starts with a proper dig-out and a deep, compacted stone sub-base, with kerbs and edging set in concrete so the surface stays level and nothing creeps. The blocks are laid on a screeded sand bed, cut neatly at every edge, then finished with kiln-dried sand and compacted.
We set the falls so rainwater runs away from your house, and because each block is laid individually, any section can be lifted and relaid in future rather than patched.
Block Paving Styles
Herringbone pattern
The strongest pattern for driveways. Blocks lock together and resist movement from turning tyres.
Contrasting borders
A charcoal, red or Sky Cobble border frames the drive. One of the most requested upgrades in Livingston.
Tumbled & cobble blocks
Rumbled blocks such as Sky Cobble give a softer, traditional look that suits older and stone-built homes.
Permeable block paving
Wider joints filled with fine stone let rain soak through, helping drainage and planning compliance.
Feature details
Inset diamonds, bands, curves and steps, with colours chosen to suit your brick, render and roof.
Re-lays & replacements
Sunken or tired block paving lifted, the base rebuilt, and relaid or replaced with new blocks.
How we build it
From dig-out to finished drive
These photos are from a real Prestige job: a tired front garden turned into off-street parking with a block border.
Free survey & quote
We visit, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk you through surfaces, colours and borders. You get a fixed written price.
Dig-out & groundwork
We excavate to the right depth, remove the waste, lay a weed membrane and install any drainage the driveway needs.
Compacted sub-base
A deep layer of crushed stone is laid and compacted in stages: the foundation that stops a driveway sinking or rutting.
Edging & borders
Kerbs and border blocks are set in concrete so the edges stay crisp and the surface can’t spread.
Your chosen surface
Monoblock, resin, tarmac or gravel is laid, levelled and finished by hand, with falls set so water runs away from your house.
Clean-up & handover
We clear every bit of waste, sweep and wash down, and walk you round the finished job.
Resin bound driveways
Resin Driveways in Livingston
Resin-bound driveways give a smooth, seamless finish that looks premium and needs almost no upkeep. Natural decorative stone is mixed with a clear UV-stable resin and hand-trowelled into an even surface, with no loose chips, ruts or weeds.
The surface is fully permeable, so rainwater drains straight through rather than pooling or running onto the pavement. We lay popular Daltex blends including Oyster and Platinum, framed with a neat block border.
- Laid on a sound existing surface or a new permeable base
- No loose stones and very little maintenance
- UV-stable resin that won’t yellow

Tarmacadam driveways
Tarmac Driveways in Livingston
Tarmac is a practical, great-value choice for Livingston homes, especially for larger driveways and drives that take a lot of traffic. It gives a smooth, dark, uniform finish that looks sharp with a contrasting block or cobble border.
We lay tarmac on a deep compacted stone sub-base with edging set in concrete, then roll it while hot for a dense, tight finish that stays flat for years. We also turn front gardens into new off-street parking.
- Block and Sky Cobble borders
- Front garden to driveway conversions
- Most tarmac drives laid in one or two days
Gravel & chip driveways
Gravel Driveways in Livingston
Gravel and stone chip driveways are quick to install, cost-effective and free-draining. Built properly, with solid edging and a compacted base, the stone stays where it should and tyres don’t dig ruts.
We also use chips and slate with slabs or monoblock to create low-maintenance front gardens that look smart all year round.
- Decorative gravel, stone and slate chips
- Gravel grids for stability on slopes and turning areas
- Block or kerb edging to keep stone off lawns
Patios & paving
Patios in Livingston
A good patio makes your garden usable: level, quick-draining and solid underfoot. We lay slab and natural stone patios, paths and steps across Livingston and West Lothian, from simple seating areas to full back-garden makeovers.
A recent project in Blackburn used Brookstone slabs in Sky and Meadow Stone in a two-tone design, with new lawns and stylish edging.
- Slab and natural stone patios
- Paths, steps and handrails
- Falls set so water drains away from the house
Repairs & restoration
Driveway Repairs in Livingston
Not every tired driveway needs ripping out. If your blocks or slabs are sound, a professional clean, re-sand and seal, or lifting and relaying a sunken area, can make it look close to new for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
If a drive has failed because there was never a proper base underneath, we’ll tell you honestly that replacement is the lasting fix, like this West Lothian driveway where old red paving was replaced with new Sky Cobble monoblock.
- Sunken monoblock lifted, re-based and relaid
- Power washing, re-sanding and sealing
- Loose edging reset and drainage problems fixed

Many of our customers start with a driveway and realise the rest of the garden deserves the same treatment. Because we do the hard and soft landscaping ourselves, you get one team, one quote and one finish that ties everything together.

Good to know
Driveway questions we’re often asked
How much does a monoblock driveway cost in Livingston?
Price depends on the size of the area, how much needs to be dug out, access, the blocks you choose and any borders, steps or drainage. We give every customer a free survey and a fixed written quote, so there are no hidden extras and no pressure.
Is monoblocking the same as block paving?
Yes. “Monoblock” or “monoblocking” is the name most people in Scotland use for concrete block paving. Same product, same installation. Whichever you call it, we lay block paving in Livingston and across West Lothian.
How do I choose a driveway contractor in Livingston?
Look for a driveway company with local reviews you can check, photos of real jobs, a fixed written quote and a clear explanation of how the base will be built. We’re rated 9.83/10 from 50 verified Checkatrade reviews and have been laying driveways for over 20 years.
How long does a monoblock driveway last?
Laid on a properly dug-out and compacted sub-base, a monoblock driveway will last for decades. The blocks themselves are extremely durable; it’s the groundwork underneath that decides whether a drive stays level.
How long does it take to lay a driveway?
Most driveways in Livingston take between one and four days, depending on size, access and surface. Tarmac and gravel are often finished in a day or two; larger monoblock and resin driveways with borders take a little longer. You get a clear timescale before we start.
Will weeds grow through block paving?
A membrane under the base and properly filled joints keep weeds to a minimum. Over time a little moss or seed can settle in the joints, and an occasional clean, re-sand and seal (which we also offer) keeps it looking new.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In Scotland most new driveways don’t need planning permission as long as rainwater drains within your own property, for example by using a permeable surface such as resin-bound, gravel or permeable block paving, or by draining to a lawn or border. Listed buildings, flats and conservation areas can be different, and a new or widened dropped kerb needs West Lothian Council’s consent. We’ll advise on your property when we survey.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes, all of our work is guaranteed. We’re also a vetted Checkatrade member, and Checkatrade’s £1,000 guarantee applies to eligible jobs (their T&Cs apply).
