Tarmac Driveway, Full Dig-Out

The Brief: Worn surface breaking up at the edges, weeds coming through the middle of the existing layout.

What We Did: Full excavation of the site, installed a heavy-duty geotextile membrane, compacted a fresh Type 1 sub-base, and laid a two-course machine-laid tarmac finish with a solid new edge restraint.

Tarmac Driveway & Border

The Brief: Tired mixed surface suffering from poor kerb appeal and structural decline.

Resin-Bound Drive with Brick Edge

The Brief: A cracked and patchy hardstanding failing to handle standard vehicle use.

What We Did: The base was carefully prepared and proven. We then trowelled down a highly durable, UV-stable resin-bound aggregate, achieving a seamless, permeable finish encased inside a custom brick-set border.

Tarmac Access Lane & Sett Border

The Brief: A long, narrow shared access lane between two properties required a tidy, durable surface upgrade to handle vehicle traffic, with levels adjusted to fall slightly toward the road for drainage.

What We Did: Laid a smooth, matte black tarmac surface complemented by a robust border of grey-brown block paving setts. This custom edging frames the entrance, provides a clean transition to the pavement, and acts as a solid restraint to prevent future edge crumbling.

Patio & Lawn Reinstatement

The Brief: Unusable, muddy rear garden lacking structure and aesthetic value.

What We Did: Excavated the area and rebuilt a sweeping patio with flush timber edging and decorative pebble borders. Engineered the fall away from the house and completely reinstated a fresh, level lawn to finish.

Commercial Car Park
