No driveway specialist listed in Arbroath yet.

A driveway specialist lays new driveways and refurbishes existing ones - block paving, tarmac, resin-bound stone and concrete, including the sub-base and drainage that determine whether the surface lasts.

Front gardens of more than five square metres need planning permission unless the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway, so check before laying impermeable materials.

Get the falls right - water should run off the driveway, not pool against the house - and ask for an SUDS-friendly approach if the area is prone to surface water.

Arbroath is a historic coastal town on the North Sea, about 17 miles northeast of Dundee, with a working harbour that has been at the centre of its economy for centuries.

Arbroath Abbey, founded in 1178 by King William the Lion, is one of Scotland's most important medieval monuments - it was here in 1320 that the Declaration of Arbroath was signed, asserting Scottish independence from England.

The town is famous for the Arbroath smokie, a hot-smoked haddock with protected geographical indication status, still produced by traditional methods in smokehouses near the harbour.

The Signal Tower Museum beside the harbour tells the story of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse, built by Robert Stevenson and first lit in 1811.

Arbroath has a full town centre with supermarkets, schools, a leisure centre and regular rail connections to Dundee and Aberdeen on the main east coast line.

Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.

The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.

Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry across the Strathmore valley has been a mainstay for generations.

Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
