Resin upgrade – Sawtry
Before: Tired Front Garden with Mixed Surfaces – Sawtry
Before the upgrade, this Sawtry front garden featured a combination of loose decorative stone, uneven planting areas, and ageing pathways that required frequent upkeep. While the layout had character, the multiple surface types and worn edging made the space feel disjointed and harder to maintain. Loose gravel regularly shifted out of place, weeds were difficult to control, and the overall appearance lacked the clean, structured finish expected from a modern front garden.
Key issues:
- Mixed surfaces creating an inconsistent, cluttered appearance
- Loose stone areas prone to movement and weed growth
- Uneven edges requiring frequent maintenance
- Dated finish that didn’t reflect the home’s full potential
🌿 Our Vision
Our vision for this project in Sawtry was to transform a fragmented, high-maintenance front garden into a clean, cohesive resin-bound driveway and garden space that enhanced both practicality and kerb appeal. The existing layout featured mixed materials and uneven surfaces, so the aim was to introduce a smooth, modern finish while retaining the character of the central planting feature.
Planned works included:
- Removing loose stone areas and tired surface materials
- Preparing and levelling the ground for a solid, long-lasting base
- Installing a UV-stable resin-bound surface with clean, defined edging
- Creating a unified layout that improved access, drainage, and overall kerb appeal
The Results
Transcendence Resin Mix (Resin Mill)
Why This Mix Was Chosen for This Project
- Rich, Natural Colour Blend: The Sorrento mix features warm red and golden aggregate creating a warm tone, welcoming finish that complements brickwork, timber fencing, and surrounding landscaping.
- UV-Stable & Fade Resistant: Specially formulated using UV-stable resin, this blend retains its colour vibrancy over time, even in direct sunlight—ideal for open pathways and exposed side access areas.
- Permeable & SUDS-Compliant: The porous surface promotes natural water drainage, helping prevent puddles and surface runoff. It meets Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) regulations—making it an eco-conscious choice.
- Smooth Yet Slip-Resistant: The compact, seamless finish delivers a clean, contemporary look that’s easy to walk on and maintain—perfect for Pathway.
