Expert Concrete Driveways in West Cornwall
A concrete driveway takes its strength from the ground beneath it. We break out the old drive, dig to firm ground, build and compact the sub-base, then pour a slab designed for the vehicles it will carry, with the joints and falls planned before the first load arrives.

A concrete driveway is a continuous slab of concrete laid over a compacted sub-base, designed to carry the weight of your vehicles and finished with a texture that gives tyres grip in the wet.
It is one of the hardest-wearing surfaces you can choose for a home. A slab is only as good as what sits under it: the depth of the dig, the sub-base, the joints that control movement and the falls that carry water away from the house.
Luna Maintenance Ltd builds concrete driveways from the first dig to the final joint. We excavate with our own machinery, lay and compact the base, then pour and finish the slab with our own team, so one contractor answers for every layer. If you are still weighing up surfaces, our driveways page compares concrete with resin, tarmac and gravel.
The Concrete Driveway Work We Carry Out
New concrete driveways
For new homes and new parking areas. We set out the shape you want, dig down to a firm formation and build the drive up in layers to its finished level, with the falls agreed before any concrete is ordered.
Replacing an old driveway with concrete
Tired tarmac, cracked concrete or loose stone comes out with the breakers on our 14-tonne excavator, and we can arrange muck away as part of the job. The ground underneath is checked before the new base goes in.
Extending a driveway or parking area
Room for a second car or a turning area, with the new section tied into the existing levels and a planned joint where old meets new, so the two parts move independently rather than cracking at the seam.
Edging and the slab perimeter
Edges restrain the sides of the slab and define the line of the drive against lawns, borders and paths. We set out the edge detail together with the falls so the finished drive reads as one clean shape.
Drainage built into the drive
A solid slab sheds every drop of rain that lands on it. We plan where that water goes, whether to a border, a soakaway or a channel at the garage door, and where the ground needs more, our drainage work is carried out in the same job.
Our Concrete and Driveway Work
Our concrete work runs from driveway slabs for homes to concrete pads and silage-shed bases on working farms. Every pour sits on a base our own team has dug, laid and compacted. You can see a selection of our recent jobs on our work page.

What a Well-Built Concrete Driveway Gives You
A drive that stays levelA sub-base laid and compacted in layers over firm ground stops the settlement that shows up as dips, ruts and rocking edges a few winters later.
Grip through a Cornish winterA textured finish gives tyres and feet traction on wet mornings and on sloping drives, which matters on the hillside plots common across the west of the county.
Rainwater that goes where it shouldThe falls and drainage are designed before the pour, so water runs away from your house and your garage rather than pooling at the door or running out into the road.
A surface that asks very little of youA finished concrete drive needs little more than a sweep and an occasional wash, with no loose stone to rake back.

The slab is poured, finished to the texture we agreed and left to cure. We walk the drive with you and explain when it is ready for feet, then for cars.
Why Choose Luna Maintenance for Your Concrete Driveway
A concrete drive is a planning decision as well as a building one. In England, a new or replacement front driveway over 5 square metres needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a border or soakaway. Concrete is not permeable, so the falls and drainage we design are what keep your drive within that rule. Under the Highways Act 1980 section 163, the council can also require that water from a property is kept off the road.
Every stage on our own machinery. Breakers, excavator, dumper and whacker plate are all ours, so the break-out, the dig and the base run as one continuous job.
Concrete is core work for us. The same team pours concrete pads for farm buildings and bases for silage sheds, slabs that carry far heavier loads than a car.
Accredited and insured. CHAS accredited, a Constructionline Gold member and fully insured.
