Project Details
Site Preparation: The project began by removing the old lawn and damaged paving slabs, creating a blank canvas for a fresh start. The ground was excavated and levelled to ensure a stable base for the new driveway.
Sub-Base Installation and Bedding Layer:
A solid foundation was laid to ensure longevity and durability and prevent sinking and unevenness over time. Then a smooth layer of sharp sand was evenly spread over the sub-base, creating the perfect bedding layer for the block paving. This sand layer allows for precise adjustment of the individual blocks, ensuring a seamless and level finish.Block Paving Installation:
Charcoal block paving was installed in a herringbone pattern, enhancing the structural integrity of the driveway while also increasing the visual appeal. The buff edging blocks were laid with precision along the borders to frame the charcoal paving. The contrast added a striking visual element, enhancing the design and defining the driveway’s perimeter.Custom Stone Walls and Steps:
To complement the new driveway, bespoke stone walls were constructed along the front and sides of the property. They added structure and functionality and the steps were built to match the driveway, blending seamlessly into the design. The steps also provided safe and convenient access to the home.- Finishing Touches: After the installation was completed, the driveway and surrounding areas were thoroughly cleaned. Any debris was removed, leaving a polished finish. Final checks were completed to ensure every detail met the highest quality.
