Watch Our Progress Through This Driveway And Patio Transformation
At S&D Paving, we take pride in every project we do and ensure that our clients are completely satisfied with the results. We deliver a range of paving, driveway and landscaping services and work to the highest standards at every stage.
As a demonstration of our quality and commitment to client satisfaction, we are sharing this progress of a recent driveway and patio installation handled by our team. This project took place over several weeks and allowed us to work with a returning customer, who had previously had a patio installed by our incredible team.
See our progress as we work through this transformation to see the level of commitment and care you can receive when working with our team at S&D Paving.
Before: An Outdated Driveway
We were called back to this property in Weybridge to handle the worn-out driveway, which compromised the home’s curb appeal and functionality. Our team had already worked with this client and performed a patio installation the year before, so it was brilliant to be trusted once more with such a big task.
The before of this project shows an outdated driveway in dire need of a makeover. The front wall was worn, the concrete driveway looked worse for wear, and the outdated pathway led nowhere.
Our Plan For The Driveway And Patio Transformation
Following the site consultation and meetings with our client, our team constructed a plan for this driveway and patio transformation that would meet every requirement. Led by Andrew, the S&D Paving team planned to extend the driveway into the garden to create a more cohesive appearance for the property.
The turfing would be revamped and replaced, along with the old front wall. A new walkway was also to be installed to lead directly into the back garden.
The aim of this driveway and patio transformation was to increase the aesthetic appeal of the property, as well as the functionality by making the space safe and accessible.
Transforming The Driveway With Block Paving
To begin the transformation, the S&D Paving team began to remove the old front wall. This pre-existing feature was worn beyond repair and would compromise the rest of the work, so needed to be dismantled.
Once the wall had been dismantled, it was easier for our team to begin excavating the driveway and removing the concrete that had been used for years. This gave us a clean slate to work with and allowed us to expand the size of the driveway, making it more functional for our clients.
Tobermore Pedesta paving blocks were used to create the newly extended driveway, beginning at the front door and leading into the freshly laid turf as well as down to the side gate.
As well as replacing the driveway, our team installed a stunning new walkway which led to the back garden, where our beautiful patio continued to shine a year later.
Our Previous Patio Transformation And Current Expansion
A year before this driveway transformation took place, S&D Paving was tasked with renovating the patio in the back garden. For this, we replaced the worn concrete with beautiful porcelain paving. The client was so happy with the work that they called us back to renovate the driveway and extend our work in the back garden.
As well as replacing and expanding the block paving driveway, our team were also tasked with expanding the porcelain patio and creating a larger usable space in the back garden.
Continuity was key in this project, to ensure that our past and current work matched. For the patio extension, we continued using London Stones Porcelain 600×600 in Candela Grey to extend the patio area. The patio area was expanded three rows out so it now reached the flower bed, and wrapped around the front of the property.
The patio area extended three rows out, across to the flower bed, leading down the side and wrapping around to the front.
After: Completed Driveway And Patio Transformation
Fast-forward to three to four weeks later, and our team had successfully completed both the driveway and paito transformation.
The after of this project is a complete renovation, leading to a more elegant and accessible space for our client. Following our work, the newly installed Pedesta slate driveway looks incredible and enhances the appeal of the property.
The driveway has been widened to accommodate double parking, and completed with a new wall and paving leading down to the front door.
Integrated into the design was a garden pathway and a potting area, to complete the look and bring natural beauty to the space. The new turfing is now bordered by a beautiful laurel hedge, bringing some greenery to the space which is a stunning contrast to the slate grey driveway.
A notable feature of the finished project was a recessed manhole cover to ensure a seamless appearance to the space. This driveway and patio transformation saw us expanding on a previous project, as we increased the size of the porcelian patio installed over a year ago.
The porcelain patio now offered more space in the back garden, suitable for the customer’s hot tub and a new seating area thanks to our seamless expansion using the same porcelain paving.
