About Hillcrest Landscapes, Driveway Installers in Castleford
A family-run business laying resin and block paving driveways, patios and gardens across Castleford and the towns nearby for more than two decades.
A family business built on doing it properly
Hillcrest Landscapes is run by Chris Hand from Castleford, with members of his family working alongside him. Between them they have spent over 20 years laying driveways, patios and paths, and landscaping gardens across West Yorkshire.
Chris set the business up with one aim: to look after every customer’s home as carefully as he would his own. That shows in the small things reviewers mention, such as materials arriving on the day they are needed, waste cleared away as the job goes, and the price staying as quoted.
Today the work ranges from resin bound and block paved driveways to drive extensions, sandstone patios, garden paths and whole back gardens. Whatever the job, the groundwork comes first, because that is what decides how long a drive or patio lasts.

What we do
Five kinds of job, from a resin drive to a whole garden. Each one is explained in full on our services page.
- Resin Driveways Smooth, porous resin bound driveways in natural stone blends, laid on a well-built base and finished with neat edging.
- Block Paving Driveways Block paved driveways laid by hand on a dug-out, compacted base, in herringbone and other patterns with contrasting borders.
- Driveway Installation New driveways and drive extensions in gravel, permeable paving or stone, with the groundwork, edging and drainage done properly.
- Patios Patios in Indian sandstone and other stone, laid to the right falls, with raised edges, steps and drainage where they are needed.
- Garden Landscaping Whole and part garden makeovers: paths, steps, walls, lawns, fencing and artificial grass, built around the paving.
