THE PROJECT

MORE PARKING.
WITHOUT LOSING EVERY PLANT.

The customer wanted the full grass frontage turned into practical off-street parking while retaining space for planting. GMGB excavated and prepared the area, extended the dropped kerb for wider vehicle access and finished the driveway in tarmac.

01 / BEFORE

A LARGE GRASSED FRONTAGE.

The original layout was mainly lawn, with a narrow slabbed route to the garage and limited vehicle access from the road.

Front garden excavated for the new Carfin driveway
02 / EXCAVATION

THE LAWN STRIPPED OUT.

The grass, soil and original route were removed so the full frontage could be rebuilt as one coordinated driveway area.

Separation membrane installed across the Carfin driveway formation
03 / PREPARATION

THE FULL FORMATION COVERED.

A separation membrane was installed across the excavated footprint before the supporting layers, edges and surface were completed.

04 / CUSTOMER DETAILS

THE PLANTING SPACE KEPT.

A half-moon detail was formed beside the window, while a separate soil bed was retained and dressed with fresh topsoil so the customer could establish planting shortly after completion.

THE RESULT

ONE WIDE DRIVEWAY WITH BETTER ACCESS.

EXTENDED DROPPED KERB
The vehicle crossing was extended to suit the much wider driveway, giving the customer practical access across the new frontage rather than leaving the original narrow entrance.
