Things to know in Caldy
Caldy conservation area
Caldy is one of Wirral's 26 conservation areas. Changes to walls, gates and front boundaries can need consent from Wirral Council, so it's worth checking before work starts.
Trees
In a conservation area, you normally have to give the council six weeks' notice before cutting back or removing a tree. Digging out an old drive can also damage roots. We plan the dig around any trees, and tell you if notice is needed first.
Long drives
On a long drive, the base and edging are a big part of the price. Use the calculator for a rough figure, then we'll measure it properly.

FAQ
Caldy questions
Do I need permission for a new drive in Caldy?
A permeable resin bound drive doesn't need planning permission in itself. Because Caldy is a conservation area, walls, gates and tree work can need consent or notice, so check with Wirral Council first.
Will digging out the old drive harm our trees?
It can if roots aren't allowed for. We look at the trees at the survey and plan the dig around them.
