Transforming a Garden Path with SureSet Resin Bound Paving
Customer Background
Nestled in the charming town of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, lies a unique sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and re-homing guinea pigs. The owner, a devoted animal lover, faced a specific challenge: creating a garden path that was smooth, seamless, and accessible for daily use. With frequent movement between enclosures and the need to transport food, water, and cleaning supplies, a practical yet aesthetically pleasing solution was essential. That’s where SureSet stepped in.
Project Requirements
The customer needed a pathway that met several key criteria:
- Accessibility: The path needed to be smooth and seamless to accommodate trolleys and reduce trip hazards.
- Durability: With daily foot traffic and regular use, the surface had to be robust and long lasting.
- Aesthetics: The pathway needed to complement the garden’s natural beauty while adding a polished finish.
- Drainage: As the sanctuary operates year round, proper drainage was critical to prevent pooling and ensure the path remained safe and functional in all weather conditions.
The SureSet Solution
SureSet proposed the installation of resin bound paving, a versatile and high performance surface, ideal for the customer’s needs. The project involved laying two distinct resin bound marble blends across 29 square meters:
Astro Peake (22m², 6mm): Installed at a 30mm depth, this modern, grey toned marble provided a smooth, welcoming surface for the main pathway.
Winter Frost (7m,² 6mm): Also laid at a 30mm depth, this lighter, contrasting marble blend was used to highlight the key section of the path, enhancing its visual appeal.
Installation Process
The installation process was efficient and seamless:
- Preparation: The team prepared a compacted, free-draining stone base to ensure a stable and permeable foundation for the resin bound paving.
- Application: Using precision techniques, the SureSet team applied the resin bound materials directly onto the base, ensuring a smooth and even finish.
- Completion: The project was completed on the same day, minimising disruption to the customer and allowing immediate use of the pathway once the resin bound material had cured.
Key Benefits of SureSet Resin Bound Paving
- Smooth and Seamless Surface: The resin bound paving eliminated uneven surfaces, creating a safe and accessible path for the customer’s daily activities.
- Permeability: The free-draining properties of the resin bound surface prevented water pooling, keeping the path functional in all weather conditions.
- Low Maintenance: The durable material required minimal upkeep, freeing up valuable time for the customer to focus on their guinea pig sanctuary.
- Visual Appeal: The combination of Astro Peake and Winter Frost created a striking yet harmonious design that enhanced the overall aesthetic of the garden.
Customer Testimonial
