Driveways for the Ferry's period streets

Broughty Ferry is Dundee's jewel: Victorian and Edwardian villas, fishermen's cottages and the conservation area around the castle and esplanade. Gravel and sett-look block paving sit naturally next to sandstone; muted resin blends are the modern alternative that keeps the planners happy. The wrong surface genuinely costs a period house here in kerb appeal.

Conservation area considerations

Parts of the Ferry fall in conservation areas, where changes visible from the street get closer scrutiny. Permeable surfaces keep the front-garden rules simple, but colours and edging matter too: buff and natural tones work, loud charcoals and reds less so. Dropped kerbs go through Dundee City Council's roads team.
