Cathedral Landscapes covers Droitwich Spa WR9 – the town centre, Westwood Park, Witton, Salwarpe, Copcut, Chawson and the canal corridor. Block paving, resin, tarmac, dropped kerbs, fencing and turfing. Free written and itemised quote in 24 hours.
Spec choices that suit the Droitwich property mix.
Town centre (Saltway, Worcester Road, the canal corridor): period townhouses with rear courtyards, smaller front plots, occasional Conservation Area constraints. Where a drive fits, the surfaces that read right against Victorian brick are gravel on a stabiliser grid, sandstone setts, or grey/charcoal block paving. We avoid bright modern colour palettes in the heritage core. Dropped kerb conversations here always include the 4.8m County Council depth check.
Westwood Park (off the A38): 1980s/90s detached and large semis. Plots are generous, drives 35–60 m², mostly existing block paving that's now showing the wear of 30 years – sand washed out of joints, weeds, sunken panels. Most Westwood jobs we quote are restoration (pressure wash, re-sand, reseal) rather than full replacement. Where replacement is the right call, modern grey/charcoal palettes or resin overlay work well.
Witton, Copcut, Chawson (newer estates 2000s+): developer-spec drives, often a thin layer of block paving on a marginal sub-base that fails sooner than the homeowner expects. We dig out, install a full-depth Type 1 sub-base, and re-lay with proper edge restraints. This is where a 25–30 year drive starts.
Canal-side and lower-lying properties: the Salwarpe and the canal mean parts of the town sit on alluvial ground with a higher water table. Permeable surfaces (resin bound on permeable sub-base, porous block) are sensible defaults; soakaways or channel drains are easy adds where needed.
Dropped kerb realities in Droitwich. WR9's adopted highways are well-maintained and the County Council process is predictable: homeowner submits application and pays the council fees, approval typically lands in 4–8 weeks, we install the same day approval is confirmed. We don't manage the council application – that's the homeowner's responsibility – but we'll talk you through what they need before you submit so you're not chasing extra info later.

Block Paving
Dropped Kerbs
If the sub-base is still solid (no major rutting or panel sinkage) and the blocks themselves are sound, restoration is usually the right call: pressure wash, re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand, optional sealer for stain resistance. Adds 8–10 years to the drive at a fraction of replacement cost.
Common on 2000s+ developer-spec drives where the sub-base was laid thin to hit a price. The fix is a full-depth re-lay: dig out the blocks, install a proper Type 1 sub-base with edge restraints, re-lay (re-using your existing blocks if they're sound). One job, 25–30 year service life from then on.
Subject to the 4.8m County Council depth rule (back of footway to front of property), and Conservation Area considerations where applicable. We'll measure on the free site visit and tell you straight before you commit.
No – that's the homeowner's responsibility and the council fees are paid by you directly. We'll talk you through what the council needs before you submit so you're not chasing extra info later. Our install starts the day approval lands.
A few hours on site, finished the same day. Granite kerbs in, footway reinstated, traffic management cleared. Not 1–2 days as many quotes suggest – that's a major selling point of how we work.
