About Croxley Green
Croxley Green is a village in Three Rivers, Hertfordshire. It sits between Rickmansworth and Watford. At its heart is a large village green, known simply as the Green. The village has two conservation areas: one around the Green, and one at Dickinson Square, where the houses were built for workers at the local paper mill.
We work all over the village, including:
1. The homes around the Green.
2. The village centre, along New Road.
3. The streets near Croxley station and Watford Road.
4. Dickinson Square and Dickinson Avenue.
We also work in nearby villages such as Sarratt, Chandler's Cross and Loudwater.
What to think about in Croxley Green
1. Ground that changes. Drainage can change from one garden to the next. We check how your ground drains before choosing a soakaway.
2. Homes facing the Green. If your front garden faces the Green or another open space, the look from the road matters. A tidy edge, a low wall, or a softer gravel or resin finish can suit.
3. Conservation areas. If your home is near the Green or in Dickinson Square, it may be in a conservation area. Dickinson Square has extra planning rules, which can cover front walls, gates and fences. Check with Three Rivers District Council before work starts, and we'll help you check.

Croxley Green questions
How does resin bound handle rain on a Croxley Green drive?
Resin bound is porous. The resin holds the stones together but leaves small gaps. So rain can drain through to the base, rather than running across the drive.
Why does water pool on some Croxley Green driveways?
It's usually because the drive doesn't slope away enough, the base doesn't drain, or there's no drain where the water collects. On a new drive, we set a slope away from the house, build a free-draining base and add a channel drain or soakaway where the ground needs it.
Do I need planning permission for a front driveway in Croxley Green?
You don't normally need permission if the new surface lets water soak through, or drains to a lawn or border. Covering more than 5 square metres with a solid surface that drains nowhere else usually does. Flats, listed homes and conservation areas may have extra rules.
How do I look after a porcelain patio in Croxley Green?
Sweep it, rinse off spills and give it a gentle wash now and then. Most porcelain doesn't need sealing.
What does the guarantee cover in Croxley Green?
Our 10-year guarantee covers the driveways, patios and walls we build. There's no deposit. See our guarantee and insurance page.
Can you build a low front wall to match my Croxley Green drive?
Yes. We build brick walls and pillars to suit the driveway and the house.
