Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on the size of the area, aggregate chosen and whether a new sub-base is required. As a rough guide, expect £60–£100+ per m². We always provide a free, written, fixed-price quote before any work starts.

A properly installed resin bound driveway should last 15–25 years. As approved Ox Resin installers, we offer guarantees of up to 20 years on our resin installations.

Yes. Resin bound driveways are fully porous — rainwater drains through the surface and into the ground, making them SUDS-compliant and meaning you don't need planning permission to replace a front garden driveway.

Most resin driveways are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex jobs may take two days. You can typically drive on the surface within 24 hours of installation.

Often yes — if the existing surface is sound, crack-free and level. We'll assess the existing base on our free site visit and advise whether it's suitable.

We install porcelain, natural stone (including Indian sandstone and limestone), concrete flags and block paving. We'll help you choose the right material for your garden and budget.

A typical patio takes two to five days depending on size, complexity and material. We'll give you a clear timeline before work begins.

Usually yes — we need to prepare a proper sub-base. Laying new paving directly over an old slab rarely gives satisfactory long-term results.

Porcelain is manufactured, highly consistent in colour and texture, extremely hard-wearing and very low maintenance. Natural stone has unique variation in each slab, a warmer aesthetic and needs sealing. Both are excellent choices — it comes down to personal preference.

For permeable surfaces (such as resin bound), no planning permission is needed. For non-permeable surfaces (such as standard tarmac or block paving) covering more than 5m² of front garden, you may need permitted development approval. We'll advise you during the free site visit.

Block paving has individual blocks with visible joints, giving a traditional look. Resin offers a seamless, contemporary surface. Resin is fully porous and lower maintenance; block paving allows individual blocks to be lifted for utility access.

Tarmac is typically firm enough to walk on within a few hours and drive on within 24 hours, though we recommend avoiding sharp turns for the first week while the surface fully cures.

Yes. Modern artificial turf is designed to be safe for both children and pets. It's non-toxic, soft underfoot and easy to clean. Most products are also treated to resist pet odours.

Minimal maintenance is required. An occasional brush with a stiff broom to keep the pile upright and a jet wash once or twice a year is all that's needed.

Artificial grass is installed on a compacted aggregate sub-base with a permeable membrane, allowing rainwater to drain freely through the surface.

Generally, fences up to 2m at the rear and 1m at the front (roadside) don't require planning permission. Check with your local council if in doubt — we're happy to advise.

We use concrete posts set in concrete for all fence installations. This is far more durable than timber posts set in concrete, and dramatically extends the life of your fence.

Yes. Tru-Pro Landscaping carries full public liability insurance. We're happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
