Phase 2 of a project in Wimborne, previously a Indian sandstone patio was laid over looking the River Stour to the rear garden, the driveway needed completely re-doing after extensive building work was carried out, i’ll let the pictures do the talking, but this did turn out rather well don’t you think…….
An old wall was pulled over to provide a sub-base material for the parking area, new timber sleepers were erected as a support, this was topped off with a compacted layer of 40mm scalpings and dressed up with 20mm shingle. A new decorative panel was installed for privacy with a side access gate.
Tired gravel driveway given a fresh look by replacing it with Tarmac planings, a french drain was also installed to take away any surface water.
Large Driveway having a re-fresh layer of Cotswold stone spread.
Out with the ugly concrete and tired fence, then brought up to date with new block paving complemented with a grey 20mm Quantock stone, a new close board fence replaced the old panels. Lovely customers, thanks for the T’s and cake! Big help from a work colleague on this one.
Old Tarmac removed, the base was leveled and new type 1 stone added where needed, the surface then was compacted and topped off with 20mm shingle, the dog seem to approve!!
A slippery grass slope was overcome by installing ground mats filled with path gravel, not only do the mats give excellent stability to the slope, but they also retain the path gravel from gravity movement.
A time served concrete plinth in front of a garage/store was replaced with new concrete.
An old weed covered waste piece of ground was transformed in to a useful parking/function area by clearing the site of weeds and topsoil constructing a bank with the material, a perimeter linear length of timber sleepers was erected to form a clean edge and to retain the soil bank, hardcore was spread and compacted over a permeable membrane and then topped off with road plannings to provide a clean firm surface.
New Close Board fence to replace an old panel fence incorporating a side gate.
