Expert Driveways in West Cornwall, From the Base to the Finished Surface
Choosing a new driveway starts with the surface you want and ends with the ground beneath it. We help you compare resin, tarmac, concrete and gravel, then dig out, drain and build the base before your chosen surface goes down, so the finished drive looks its best and wears well.

A driveway is a hard-wearing surface built to carry vehicles from the road to your home, made up of a compacted sub-base, edging, drainage and a finished surface such as resin, tarmac, concrete or gravel. The surface is what you see. The excavation and sub-base beneath it decide how well it wears.
That is why we treat every driveway as a groundworks job first. As driveway contractors with our own machinery, Luna Maintenance Ltd digs out, drains and builds the base itself, so the surface you choose sits on ground we have prepared and trust.
This page helps you choose between the surfaces. Each one has its own page with the detail, and the right choice for your home is something we talk through at a free site visit.
Driveway Surfaces Compared
Resin bound driveways
A smooth, seamless finish of natural stone bound in clear resin. It is porous, so water drains through it, and the stone blend can be chosen to suit your home. Laid by our Rhino resin trained team: see resin driveways.
Tarmac driveways
A dense, hard-wearing surface that handles daily traffic and heavier vehicles, and suits long drives, parking areas and private lanes. See tarmac driveways.
Concrete driveways
A strong, rigid surface for heavy use, laid with joints that control movement and a finish agreed at the site visit. See concrete driveways.
Gravel driveways
A natural, free-draining finish of decorative aggregate, laid over a compacted sub-base and held in place by firm edging. A gravel driveway suits rural homes and long drives, and it lets rainwater soak straight through.
Other surfaces, matched to the property
We also lay block paving where it suits a property, on the same compacted, well-drained base as every other surface. Ask about it at your site visit.
Whichever surface you choose, the work underneath is the same in principle: excavation to the right depth, a compacted sub-base, edging that holds the surface in place, and drainage that takes the water where it can legally go.

Why Choose Luna Maintenance for Your Driveway
Every driveway has to deal with its own rainwater. Under section 163 of the Highways Act 1980, the highway authority can require a property owner to stop surface water flowing from their land onto the road, so a drive that falls towards the street needs drainage built in from the start.
The base is ours. Our own machinery digs out and compacts every base, so the surface is laid on ground we have prepared.
Trained for resin. Our team is Rhino resin trained for resin bound installation.
Experience across every surface. Resin, tarmac, concrete and gravel, so our recommendation is based on what suits your home.
Accredited and insured. CHAS accredited, a Constructionline Gold member and fully insured.
Your Contractor: Ross Kitto
Luna Maintenance is led by director Ross Kitto, who has 29 years in the trade across groundworks, plant and surfacing. He formed the company in 2023, and today leads a close team of five that builds driveways from the dig to the final surface on its own machinery.
The team is Rhino resin trained and CPCS-carded on plant.
“We put the customer first, so we talk you through every surface honestly before we recommend the one that suits your home,”
says Ross Kitto, director of Luna Maintenance Ltd.
