Gabion Basket install in Durweston Dorset

A small project for an existing customer, the side of the gravel driveway was starting to erode due to the constant turning of local vehicles clipping the edge of the drive, the customer wanted something different than a block wall so a gabion basket was installed on a concrete footing with metal box sections added. a large bump stop post was also inserted at the front to help…lets see you drive over that !!

A front lawn removed and turned into extra parking, the front path was reshaped to allow vehicle movement onto the new space. 20mm Quantock stone was used over a permeable sub-base allowing the natural water drainage.

Block paved driveway threshold in Child Okeford Dorset

After grounding out the front of the car one to many times on the steep gravel incline the customer asked what could be done?

Answer… grade back the loose surface which was the problem, lessen the angle and install block paving stopping the build up of loose material on the entrance gradient.

Driveway extension in Wimborne Dorset

The Drive way needed to be widened to allow a camper van to be parked, so the existing Kerbs were saved and re-laid in an opposite curve then filled in with a customer choice of blocks, although they dont match colour wise due to the availability the style is the same.

New Driveway in Wimborne Dorset

Rather too much plum slate on this driveway with a narrow side path way out of proportion, so the remedy… install a very pleasing light grey block with a dark grey outline, a percentage of graveled area was retained due to the property being at the bottom of a hill and can at times collect a lot of surface water. A couple of planting areas was incorporated  to break up the hardness and soften the look once planted.

An unwelcome snow storm covered us overnight but was soon gone to allow progress.
