This was a no-fines concrete driveway at a country house in the Knutsford area. No-fines concrete is mixed without the fine sand, so it sets with an open, free-draining structure — ideal for a permeable driveway that lets rainwater soak straight through rather than run off.
The property sat down a long, narrow access lane — but our experienced drivers are used to getting into tight spots, so we got the mixer right up to the house and supplied the no-fines concrete straight to where the team were laying it, edge to edge across the driveway and the side path.
No-fines concrete is mixed without the fine sand, so it sets with an open structure full of small voids. That makes it free-draining (permeable) — ideal for driveways and paths where you want rainwater to soak through rather than run off.
Often, yes — our experienced drivers regularly get the mixer down narrow lanes and into tight spots, as on this Knutsford job. Tell us about your access and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
