Resin-Bound Driveways Edenbridge
If you really want to increase your kerb appeal, there are few better outdoor surfacing options than resin-bound driveways. Every resin-bound driveway installation by Atrium Building & Landscaping Ltd comes with a 5-year guarantee, but your new resin-bound driveway or patio could easily last up to 25 years before you need to do more than sweep and wash it.
By mixing an aggregate option of your choosing with clear resin, resin-bound driveways are unrivalled in their versatility; the hardest part of your installation will be deciding on the colour and the size of the aggregate.
Since the 90s, resin-bound driveways have been the go-to option for homeowners looking to improve the aesthetic of their property exterior; whether you want to complement the characteristics of your traditional property or give your garden a modern touch, resin-bound driveways have very few visual limits.
To give all of our customers a visually appealing and durable surface, we meticulously follow a tried and tested installation formula, which typically includes (depending on the condition of the foundations) ensuring the surface area is clean, dry and free from vegetation, oil and debris and installing edging before we get started on the base construction. Once the base has been prepared, the mix of resin and aggregate will be laid and smoothed. Typically, it takes a day for a resin-bound surface to cure and dry; after that, we will carry out final checks and give our customers the option of a sealant topcoat.
Benefits of Resin-Bound Driveways and Patios
Resin-bound driveways have become popular due to their:
- Solid and seamless surface.
- Water permeability that minimises flooding risks.
- Customisable options.
- Weed resistance.
- Durability.
- Low maintenance.
- Smooth surface which is comfortable and safe to walk, drive and cycle on.
Tarmac Driveways Edenbridge.
Our tarmac driveway installation service is highly popular with our Edenbridge commercial and residential customers. Thanks to the quick drying properties of tarmac, there is minimum disruption once the installation process gets underway, and you won’t need to wait for long before your new driveway is fully functional.
Tarmac remains a popular choice for outdoor surfacing due to its durability; even with heavy vehicular traffic, when laid properly by a professional team, a tarmac driveway will keep a smooth and even finish. For property owners who prefer minimal maintenance, tarmac is a safe option.
To install tarmac driveways, we start by excavating the ground and laying a sub-base installation (of crushed stone or concrete) and edging before adding a binding layer of tarmac for optimal adhesion between the sub-base and the surface layer of tarmac. Once the binding and surface layer has been poured, we level and compact the tarmac to achieve a smooth and even finish. After adding any finishing touches, the tarmac will be left to cure and dry for a few days – depending on the weather conditions.
Advantages of Tarmac Surfacing
- Low maintenance.
- Quick & easy installation.
- Easy to repair if cracks appear over time.
- Low initial cost.
- Durability.
- Eco-friendly.
- Improved drainage to minimise the risk of flooding.
Block Paved Driveways and Patios Edenbridge
Block paved driveways and outdoor surfacing used to come with a significant price tag; now there are block paved surfacing solutions for all households. Typically, concrete blocks are cheaper than natural stone blocks; Atrium Building & Landscaping Ltd can supply a wide range of high-quality blocks and lay them in a pattern of our customers’ choosing. Whether you’re looking for something simple and modest or an eye-catching design that will enhance the value and aesthetic of your property, we are happy to make your renovation dreams a reality.
In addition to the obvious visual benefits of installing a block paved driveway, customers will also benefit from a winter-friendly surface that provides good traction, stain resistance, and durability. It takes a lot to damage a block paved driveway or patio; if any wear and tear was to occur, block paved driveway repairs are quick, easy, and cost-effective as there will be no need to upheave the surrounding areas.
Block paving also tends to be the preferred surfacing option for patio installations; if you’re looking to extend your home social space into your garden, the addition of a patio will create the perfect area for BBQs, outdoor dining or outdoor lounge space.
Other Surface Options
Gravel, slate and concrete driveways and outdoor surfacing may not be as in high demand with our Edenbridge customers, but as we pride ourselves in catering to the landscaping needs of everyone and we recognise that some properties may benefit from an alternative to resin-bound, block paved or tarmac driveway, we can install everything from gravel flower bed surrounds to sturdy concrete driveways.
To discuss our alternative options, don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries; we will be happy to run you through which surfacing option is right for your needs, budget, and property.
