Block Paved Driveways
Tobermore Shannon Duo and Pedesta among others, laid on a full sub-base with channel drainage and proper edge restraints.
Run by Richard and Becky Kettlewell since 2018. Tobermore registered, upper-tier waste carrier licensed, with our own qualified plant operators and, admittedly, four very vocal dogs.
"From your first call into the office where you might hear the radio on or one of our four dogs in the background (much as I'd love for them not to be on calls, they do enjoy the sound of their own voices!)"
Kettlewell Groundworks, in their own wordsIt tells you more about a groundworks firm than any brochure line can. Our team is not only pet-friendly, but they're also child-friendly too, which matters when a crew is going to be in your garden with an excavator for a fortnight and your dog wants to supervise.

Tobermore Shannon Duo and Pedesta among others, laid on a full sub-base with channel drainage and proper edge restraints.
Machine-laid tarmac, kerbed and edged in setts or flags so it finishes cleanly against the house rather than running out into the grass.
Rippon, Kandla Grey, Raj Green and porcelain. Laid to falls on a full mortar bed so it drains away from your house, not toward it.
Qualified in-house plant operators and an upper-tier waste carrier's licence, so the muck away is documented and legal.
DuraPost approved installers. Steel posts that do not rot or snap in a Pennine gale, finished with timber panels.
Levels, walls, lawn, paving and fencing done as one job by one firm, so nobody is waiting on anybody else's trade.
A driveway fails from the bottom up. Almost every dipped, cracked, weed-split drive in West Yorkshire failed because someone saved a day on the dig. Here is the part you will never see again once we finish.
Our own plant, our own qualified operators, and an upper-tier waste carrier's licence. The spoil leaves site properly, it does not get buried under your new paving.
Stone laid and whacked in lifts rather than tipped in one go. This is the single thing that decides whether your drive is still flat in ten winters.
Channel drains and edge restraints haunched in concrete, and the levels set to fall away from the house. Water goes where we send it.
Tobermore registered and DuraPost approved, which means the blocks and posts go down the way the people who made them say they should.
Site tidied, skip gone, and we walk the finished job with you before the vans leave. Your dog is welcome to inspect it too.
Anyone can call themselves a paving contractor. These are the ones you can verify without taking our word for it.
Registered paving contractor for Tobermore, including the Shannon Duo and Pedesta ranges we lay across Bradford.
Approved for the DuraPost steel fencing system, which does not rot, warp or snap the way timber posts do.
Paving Contractor of the Year, Yorkshire Prestige Awards 2023/2024.
Upper-tier registered waste carrier, so everything we dig out of your garden is removed and disposed of lawfully.
We would rather you read them in their own words on our Google profile than pick out the flattering ones ourselves. Among the people who have left us reviews:
You will get Richard or Becky, possibly the radio, and quite likely a dog. Tell us what you are thinking and we will come out, measure up and give you a written price. No charge and no obligation.
