The Challenge:

As part of their renovation of the property, Mr & Mrs Saywell were keen to improve the appearance of the existing tarmac drive.  Their preference was for a stone drive without destroying the existing surface and foundation.

Solution:
In late 2009, the Gridforce team commenced work by cutting channels in the tarmac surface, allowing water to drain to a soakaway.  A geotextile membrane was laid over the tarmac and 209m2 of Gridforce GF30 (30mm deep) pavers installed and filled with decorative aggregate selected by the clients.  Mr & Mrs Saywell opted to have the pavers covered by a slim layer of the aggregate.  They were “delighted with the driveway, so will not hesitate in using it again”.
