Driveways in Orchard Park
Driveway quotes for Orchard Park, Hull's large northern estate: post-war houses with generous plots, where tarmac and block paving are the practical choices.
Driveways for Orchard Park's houses
Orchard Park's post-war semis and terraces often have more front garden than their counterparts elsewhere in Hull, which makes full two-car drives common here. Tarmac is the value standard, block paving the popular upgrade, and the bigger frontages mean the price difference between the two is worth weighing properly.
Practical points for Orchard Park plots
New drives here frequently convert lawn as well as replacing an old surface, so the 5m2 rule applies unless the surface is permeable or drains to a border. The ground is low-lying Hull clay and silt: a proper compacted sub-base is what separates a 20-year drive from one that dips at the wheel tracks. Dropped kerbs need Hull City Council approval.
Typical Orchard Park prices
A two-car drive of 45 to 60m2 typically quotes £2,000 to £4,800: tarmac from £45/m2, block paving from £70/m2.
