Services
Block Paving
Block paving creates durable, visually striking driveways and patios using interlocking concrete or clay bricks. Our team installs traditional herringbone patterns and modern designs, offering over 15 colour options including charcoal, red, and natural tones. Each project includes sub-base preparation, precise laying, and joint sanding to ensure longevity and resistance to weather extremes.
Resin Bound Stone
Resin bound stone driveways combine natural aggregates with UV-stable resin for a seamless, permeable surface. This low-maintenance solution resists weeds and cracking, available in 20+ colours. Installation includes base preparation, resin mixing, and hand-trowelling to create a decorative, SUDS-compliant surface that lasts decades with minimal upkeep.
Imprinted Concrete
Imprinted concrete mimics natural stone or brick textures through stamped patterns applied to freshly poured concrete. We offer 12+ design options including cobblestone and slate effects. The process includes reinforcement, colour hardener application, and protective sealing to create cost-effective, durable surfaces for driveways and patios.
Decking Installation
We install composite and timber decking solutions for garden spaces, including raised platforms and integrated seating. Our process involves substructure framing, board installation with hidden fasteners, and finishing touches like balustrades. All installations include drainage consideration and compliance with building regulations for safety and longevity.
Fencing Services
Our fencing services cover timber panel installation, concrete post setting, and gate fitting. We use pressure-treated materials for rot resistance, offering both decorative and security-focused designs. Projects include ground preparation, post concreting, and bracket fitting to ensure wind-resistant installations that enhance garden privacy and aesthetics.
