The Beginning


Our customers in Hampton Gardens had a new build property and contacted us for advice on extending their small pathway in rear garden to a patio and to install artificial turf and create a small bbq area.

Work we carried out


Matching slabs to the pathway were sourced and another 3 rows of slabs laid to create a larger patio area that could be utilised for garden furniture.

Artificial turf was installed at 36sqm and a small slab area installed in an anthracite coloured slab for a BBQ area which would disguise any fat spillage better than the lighter slabs used for the main patio area.

The entire install was then complimented with a charcoal block edging with a small gravel trap of around a foot left surrounding the install.

 

The Beginning


Our customer had a block paved patio that had faded and was constantly needing attention to remove weeds and moss.

They wanted to replace the area with something that would require little maintenance and also wanted to extend the size of the area and include a path to their decking area.

Work we carried out


We extended the patio area by a number of metres to give more space and installed a new pathway up the the customers decking area.

The area was then finished in Daltex Silver aggregate troweled at 15mm for foot traffic, bound in UV resistant resin.

What a huge transformation, no more weeds or moss and unlike the block paving the Resin wont fade. It will look like this for years to come.

The Beginning


The front area had a Holly tree that was surrounded by loose gravel. The area constantly required weeding and wasn’t really an area that could be walked on comfortably.

Work we carried out


The loose gravel was removed and the area dug out with type-1 hardcore installed and compacted for a new base.

Edging blocks were then installed around the entire install area and a decorative circle was created using blocks to make a feature of the tree.

The area was then concreted and all the blocks sealed for a darker colour and to repel water.

Once everything had cured the area was troweled in Daltex Silver Resin bound in UV resistant resin.

No more weeds.

The Beginning


Our customers in Werrington wanted a pathway from their decking area to the rear of their garden but wanted something modern and low maintenance.

Work we carried out


We suggested a Resin Bound pathway with solar lighting.

The garden area was excavated and a new base installed ready for block edgings.

Once the edgings were installed we masked off the lighting areas and the install was troweled with White Flint aggregate bound in UV resin. Once set the solar lights were dropped into place.

The end result is a modern looking path with very little maintenance that looks great at night.

The Beginning


Our customer in Bretton had an old crazy paved patio area with some very large and ugly manhole covers they wanted to improve the look of. The also wanted to landscape their garden area which was on somewhat of a slope.

Work we carried out


The entire garden was excavated and new Bradstone paving slabs in three sizes installed onto new base along with recessed manhole covers.

Once installed new turf was added to leveled garden. The end result looks lovely and our customers are extremely happy.

The Beginning


Our clients had a large area of turf next to a patio that they were fed up with and wanted to improve with a resin bound install.

Work we carried out


The turf was excavated and new block edgings were installed with a curved border to give a nice design.

New type-1 Hardcore was installed and compacted and an open course of bitumen installed. The area was then compacted again ready for Resin installation once the weather was good enough.

Autumn Quartz aggregate was hand trowelled at 15mm for foot traffic. The result is a much brighter and cheerful garden that looks superb.

The Beginning


Our customers wanted a new shed base installing for their new shed that was being delivered.

Work we carried out


Our clients had already decided what materials they wished to use for the project so it was simply a case of us installing.

The existing slabs were lifted and the are excavated by hand ready for hardcore.

An electric channel was installed and once everything was in place the area was whacker-plated down.

The slabs were then installed along with railway sleepers to the side of the install area.

The Beginning


Our customer had a block paved driveway with lawn area that featured a small well.

They were fed up with the maintenance of the grass and wanted to use something that would compliment the existing block paving but would require next to no maintenance.

They had seen some of our other work on Facebook and asked us for a free quotation.

Work we carried out


After deciding that a resin area would be the perfect material to use, the customer chose Britney Bronze as the colour aggregate to compliment the rest of the driveway.

The lawn area was excavated and a new concrete base installed. To make a feature of the well it was decided that new edging blocks would be installed around the area to make it stand out.

Once the base was fully cured we hand trowelled the aggregate at 18-20mm bound in UV resistant resin for vehicular traffic so the area could be driven on if and when required.

The Beginning


Our client contacted us as they wanted to improve the look of the front area of their property in Werrington.

We suggested that they take a look at a recent resin installation we had completed in Werrington as this would be a great product to improve the look and give them next to no maintenance.

Once the customer had visited one of our installations they we keen to move forward with the use of Resin and we arranged a time for one of our team to pop over and take some measurements and come up with some design ideas.

Work we carried out


We decided to overlay the concreted area with resin bound aggregate and install new KL kerb edgings in order to gain the height required whilst also improving the look with a new colour contrast between the resin and blocks.

After deciding on charcoal blocks with Devon Yellow aggregate we continued this look onto the triangle area with further charcoal blocks for edging and also re-laying the circle area.

The circle area was prepped up for matching Devon yellow aggregate bound in resin and the plum slate was replaced with loose Rhine Yellow 16mm aggregate.

To add the finishing touches all the block work was primed and colour sealed to really bring out the contrasting colours of the Yellow against the charcoal.

The Beginning


Our customers had loose gravel in their front and rear gardens that they wanted to change over to a similar colour but as a Resin Bound installation meaning no maintenance.

Work we carried out


The areas were dug out by hand to the required levels, stoned up using MOT type 1 hard-core with edging blocks installed.

We then installed a concrete base which needed some time to cure ready for us to trowel the rein.

Once the concrete had cured, the area was primed and the resin (Gold Quartz) was trowelled on.
