Resin-Bound Driveway in Bury
There is much more than initially meets the eye when referring to quality driveway engineering. Not only will the shape and size need to be taken into account, but other factors such as aesthetics and the types of materials employed are just as crucial.
Lake Stone Paving was asked to address these very same variables when tackling a recent project in Bury. The homeowner wished to install an entirely new driveway and our team was contacted in order to provide a viable solution. What steps were involved? Let’s examine this undertaking in more detail.
Surfacing Solutions
There are many types of driveway surfaces which Lake Stone Paving can provide. Options include tarmac, imprinted concrete and block paving stones. In this case, we opted for resin-bound gravel. There are actually several unique characteristics to mention before moving on:
- Numerous types of stones can be selected.
- Thanks to the inclusion of resin, the colour of these stones will not fade over time.
- Resin-bound gravel offers excellent drainage properties.
- These stones boast a slip-resistant edge.
- The application process is straightforward.
- Once these benefits were discussed with the customer, the real work began.
A Flair for the Original
Our team always places an emphasis upon the notion of aesthetic beauty. This is why we created a curved driveway as opposed to embracing a standard rectangular configuration. Such an approach made the most out of the existing space while simultaneously providing a sense of originality that might have otherwise been lacking. We likewise used a series of peripheral block paving stones to punctuate the borders of the driveway; helping to tie the entire area together.
Functional Beauty
The shape and colour of this resin-bound driveway worked well with the exterior walls of the nearby home. We also included a handful of removable hatches in order to accommodate for the presence of existing drainage systems. Not only will this driveway retain its beauty for years to come, but issues such as pooling water can be avoided.
