Driveways & patios in Farnborough

Local knowledge

Farnborough covers a lot of ground in housing terms: 1930s and post-war semis around Cove and Southwood with short, prominent front drives, larger detached plots in Farnborough Park where in-and-out driveways and full-width terraces are common, and newer developments near the town centre where parking has to be squeezed into a tight frontage. Much of the town sits on free-draining Bagshot sands and gravels, which makes soakaways viable in places where they would never work on clay — but there are clay pockets too, so we test rather than assume.
