🔧 Before: Patchy Lawn & Outdated Look
Prior to the transformation, this front garden space was underused and lacked visual coherence. The lawn was sparse and uneven, bordered by an aging concrete path and mismatched gravel sections. The absence of clean edges or any structured layout made the space feel open but uninviting. With surface cracks and visible wear on the concrete, the approach to the home didn’t reflect the potential of the property.
Key issues:
- Patchy grass and uneven ground with poor definition
- Cracked, stained concrete path lacking kerb appeal
- No clear boundary or edging to separate materials
- Functional but outdated appearance
- Space felt open, undefined, and visually tired
🧱 Our Vision
The goal for this project was to transform a plain and underutilized front garden into a low-maintenance, high-impact resin-bound driveway. With limited existing structure and worn materials, we set out to create a clean, professional finish that enhances functionality and curb appeal while blending seamlessly with the surrounding homes.
Planned works included:
- Full excavation of lawn, concrete, and unstable substrate
- Installation of compacted leveling layers
- Concrete edging blocks added for clean lines and containment
- Resin-bound gravel finish in a UV-stable blend for a modern look
- Permeable surface solution for improved drainage and SUDS compliance
The Results
🏁 Resin-Bound Finish with Clean Edging & Modern Appeal
The completed project delivers a clean, contemporary driveway space that maximizes both aesthetics and practicality. A UV-stable resin-bound surface was laid in a warm, mixed Resin Mill blend, framed by precision-installed charcoal edging blocks to define the space and prevent edge breakdown over time.
This new driveway not only boosts the curb appeal but also provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that handles foot and vehicle traffic with ease. The result is a seamless, slip-resistant finish that complements the surrounding brickwork and ties into the overall frontage with clarity and balance.
- UV-stable resin-bound gravel in a custom colour blend
- Black block edging installed for contrast and containment
- Seamless transitions between the public footpath and property line
- Fully permeable, SUDS-compliant surface for sustainable drainage
- Low-maintenance finish with no loose stones or weed growth
🌲 Cedarwood Resin Mix (Resin Mill)
Why This Mix Was Chosen for This Project
- Natural Warmth with Subtle Contrast: Cedarwood offers a refined combination of soft beige, mid-brown, and honey-toned aggregates with occasional flecks of silver and cream. This creates a warm, grounded finish that complements both traditional brickwork and modern landscaping.
- UV-Stable & Colour-Rich: As a UV-stable mix from The Resin Mill, Cedarwood maintains its colour vibrancy even with long-term exposure to sunlight—no yellowing, fading, or dull patches over time.
- Clean, Detailed Finish: Its medium-texture grain provides a tight, uniform surface that looks smooth while offering grip—ideal for paths, driveways, and entrances that require both form and function.
- Versatile Compatibility: Pairs perfectly with charcoal or slate edging (as shown), creating strong visual contrast and helping define space. A great match for red brick, timber, or neutral exteriors.
