Wythenshawe drives built to last

Turning Wythenshawe front gardens into proper parking

Wythenshawe was built as a garden-city estate, so most houses have a decent front garden and a grass verge to the road. That's great for space, but it means many homes still park on the street. Converting the garden into a drive is one of the most common jobs we quote in M22 and M23.

Tarmac is a popular choice here because it's hard-wearing and good value per square metre, finished with block-paved edging to keep it neat. Block paving and stabilised gravel are good options too, and we build in drainage so water runs to a border or soakaway, not the pavement.

If you need a dropped kerb across the verge, it has to be approved by Manchester City Council first. We'll explain the process and plan the drive so it lines up with where the crossing will go.
