Re-concreting a driveway in North Lincolnshire

Mrs G from Botesford near Scunthorpe ,North Lincolnshire contacted Peak Surfacing recently,with a old concrete driveway which was in  urgent need of resurfacing. Due to the thickness of the concrete,a mechanical excavtor would have to be brought to site to break it up , but Mr and Mrs G didnt want the mess that excavtion would cause.They had recently watched Peak Surfacing install a resin bound surface a few doors down,and were impressed with the finished surface.

Peak Surfacing prepared for the installation by cutting back the concrete near the pavement and adding a charcoal blocked pave detail  to get a level with the pavement,adhering metal stripping to both sides of the driveway to give a neat finished edge and cutting back concrete near the garage door opening to allow for raising the finished level by 18mm.

Resin bound aggregates are natural kiln dried aggregates,encapsulated in clear polyurethane binder,trowlled to a smooth finish before broadcasting a anti slip ingredient over the finished surface.

Its pourous nature allows water  to drain to the concrete below preventing puddles forming and washes atmaospheric pollution away,making for easy maintenace.

With a lifespan of 12-15 years this decorative surfacing ,has all the qualities of traditional surfacing,whether blocks,tarmac or imprinted concrete without many disadvantages.

Further information on their  products and services  for yorkshire and humberside can be obtained from peaksurfacing@live.co.uk

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"
