Project Steps
- Site Preparation and Excavation
- The existing driveway, path and patio had become outdated.
- The team began by removing all the old surfaces, including worn-out concrete and paving.
- The area was excavated to the appropriate depth using heavy-duty machinery to allow for a solid foundation.
- Installing the Sub-Base and Edging
- We installed a strong sub-base using compact hardcore and a layer of sharp sand to ensure longevity and durability.
- Edging stones were placed for definition and structural integrity, preventing the blocks from shifting over time.
- Block Paving Driveway
- Dark grey blocks with contrasting lighter borders were used for a refined finish.
- The blocks were laid in a herringbone pattern for strength, the interlocked blocks prevents movement in the long run.
- A diamond shaped detail was incorporated into the design, creating a standout feature that added a unique and elegant touch.
- Pathway Installation
- A matching pathway was constructed along the side of the house, connecting the driveway and patio seamlessly.
- The pathway features contrasting border patterns that boost the aesthetic appeal.
- Patio Transformation
- The patio was transformed by incorporating a mix of neutral and grey tones for a modern look.
- The geometric layout of the paving adds character, while the defined border pattern ties the space together.
- Finishing Touches
- Once the block paving was installed, we applied kiln-dried sand to fill the joints, ensuring stability and preventing weed growth.
- The surface was then compacted for a flawless, level finish.
- Final landscaping touches were carried out, guaranteeing the surrounding areas were clean and ready for use.
