Peak surfacing help customers plan ahead

Most people plan ahead for their holidays at least six months before hand, but do you do the same for your landscaping and paving projects?

Planing ahead is vitially important when considering wet pour(concrete,tarmac,pattern concrete or resin based surfacing)paving options.Weather conditions are vital when considering outdoor projects,winter brings cold and damp conditions,which slow down the curing process from hours to days.Conversersley summer brings hot conditions which speed up the curing process and could lead to cracking.The ideal time for wet pour paving is spring ,early summer or autumn.

Start planning now. why?

The process of finding a good contractor is long and hard.

Initially you will have to invite your choosen contractor to site and discuss options finishes and also ask to see previous work where possible.When your contractor has supplied a quotation that you are happy with,contact them to give a order as they will have to order goods for your project remember bespoke products take longer to be delivered than offthe shelf products.Most good contractors wil have a busy order book ,so a immediate start is unlikely.From conception to completion is normally between 60 and 90 days.

Planning ahead avoids disappointment because you as the customer can negociate a suitable start date.

Here at Peak surfacing we are happy to discuss your resin surfacing requirements for the Springhttp://www.resinbondedpaving.co.uk

"I have a 6ft pair of Niwakis, wish i’d had them years before I did. I initially got the 8fts and immediately realised they would be a pain for the majority of hedges I used to cut. I think they are brilliant just make sure they are seated properly.…"

"I wouldn't cut a hedge without one. Anything over 6' you should get with 3 adjustable legs, otherwise they can be unstable if you lean - but positioned correctly they are the only way.

"Yes had that scenario where you can't reach a fiddly bit no matter what ladder and have to balance on the apex of a shed roof or do best job painstakingly with a long reach pole pruner . "

"I'm very wary of these tripod ladders, I took a life changing fall from the top of a 12ft tripod. Now I only use them myself with great care. The issue is that they are very unstable at the top if you lean to either side, and they go with no…"

"the tripods are good but in some scenarios the wide base and the fact the 3rd leg has to be placed some distance away from the step part for stability makes this large foot print impractical eg when cutting hedge behind a shed or greenhouse with…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Tim Wallach's discussion Tripod ladder user? Your advice sought please!
"Tripods are better than any other ladder that's a fact. You can cut hedges that are lower than the ladder but it is more awkward, I have a 6ft amd a 12 foot been using both for the last 15yrs and haven't come stuck yet. Believe me once you've had…"

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
