When you live in a terrace house, there’s often one main problem you have to contend with in 2025… a lack of a driveway.

So many stunning terrace houses in and around Manchester were built before cars were commonplace. And now with many families owning two cars, parking space outside terrace houses is a premium.

It’s hardly surprising many homeowners come to Complete Driveway Designs asking about:

A front garden driveway conversion

If you’re fortunate enough to have space in front of your terrace house – or you have another type of home that’s got a front garden without a driveway (or a drive that isn’t big enough), we can help.

We’ve converted hundreds of overgrown, underused front gardens into a smart, good-looking and extremely practical space to park a car on.

Just like this home in Ramsbottom we recently finished.

From an old impractical lawn, to a stunning concrete driveway 

This homeowner in Ramsbottom had decided his front garden was too much hassle, and he was eager to turn it into a practical space for his car, to save it being parked on the street – which was often busy.

So he called us.

We visited, we measured, we completed a drawing, and we picked a colour and style that would complement his terrace property – and one that would look very impressive.

The homeowner chose an Old English Cobble pattern, with a classic grey colour and charcoal release, for this 28 metre squared conversion.

Take a look at the transformation:

The results – one very happy homeowner with a new practical driveway

Not only has this homeowner got the driveway he needed to keep his car safely off the road when at home, but he’s now impressive neighbours left right and centre.

Here’s what he had to say on a Google Review:

“Brilliant from start to finish.

Baking heat, when they started, those lads grafted and grafted. Brilliant communication through out, they told us, when they were coming and what they were doing every single time. The end result we could not be more pleased with, it’s just what we wanted and really fairly priced. It’s the talk of the street the job they’ve done!”
