Modernisation of a Driveway
We were called in to do a complete driveway modernisation for a customer in Sprowston. The current driveway had been heavily used over the years and it was in desperate need of modernisation.
To start the modernisation for the driveway, we had to deconstruct the old driveway and remove the old concrete slabs. Next we dug away the soil area in the corner of the driveway and we removed this from site. Once this had been cleared from site, we then re shapped the driveway. This will enable a running fall of water to the centre of the driveway. Finally we installed a large drain gully to collect the surface water.

The whole surface area of the driveway was then filled with crushed hardcore. This gave a solid foundation area to work on. We then installed Amber Chelsea Set blocks on concrete; separating the two driveway areas. The Amber Chelsea Set blocks were also used around the gully, this provided extra detail for the drive and allowed this feature to blend in. Around the flower beds we installed 50mm wide pre-cast edgings, this gives the tarmac a good edge to be laid against.

One all of the preparations had been completed we then laid additional road plannings on the driveway, this was done to ensure a running fall to the drain. Next we sprayed hot tar down on the smaller portion of the driveway. As soon as this was sprayed, we then laid 10mm Golden Pea Shingle on top and rolled in. After this had been completed, we then laid 6mm SMA surfacing on the rest of the driveway. Finally to complete the driveway, we then rolled in red flecks into the Asphalt surface.
