Outdoor Home Improvements were delighted to be approached by the owner of a stunning period property in Torquay, who was looking to completely transform the driveway and pathways surrounding their home. The property, a beautifully maintained Georgian-style residence set within mature landscaped grounds, required a surfacing solution that would complement the character of the building while providing a durable and practical finish.

What Did The Resin Driveway Project Involve?

The existing driveway and pathways had seen better days and no longer reflected the elegance of the property itself. The customer wanted a resin bound driveway that would bring a fresh, clean appearance to the front of the house, while also being hard-wearing enough to cope with daily vehicle use.

This was a particularly large project, with the resin surfacing extending from the main entrance and columned portico, along a sweeping curved driveway through the grounds, and around the side of the property. The pathway winds past established flower borders, natural stone retaining walls and mature hedging, meaning the installation needed to be carried out with care and precision to protect the surrounding landscaping.

How Did Outdoor Home Improvements Help?

Our team completed the full installation, which included:

Preparing and levelling the entire driveway and pathway area with thorough groundwork
Laying a warm, honey-gold resin bound surface that beautifully complements the period stonework of the property
Carefully working around the natural stone walling, mature planting and established garden features
Creating smooth, flowing curves along the pathway to match the natural contours of the grounds
Ensuring a neat, professional edging detail throughout the entire surface area

The finished result is truly striking. The warm golden tones of the resin bound surface sit perfectly against the cream-rendered walls, columned entrance and lush green gardens. It has given the entire property a renewed sense of grandeur and curb appeal.

Why Choose Resin Bound Surfacing?

Resin bound surfacing is an excellent choice for period and character properties, where the driveway needs to enhance the look of the building rather than detract from it. It is fully permeable, extremely durable and available in a wide range of natural aggregate colours to suit any property style.
