Overview
The homeowner in Swainshill wanted a modern, durable, and visually striking driveway that would enhance the property’s entrance while reflecting a personal touch. SKM Contracting Ltd, a certified SureSet legacy installer, was selected to complete the project due to their expertise in delivering premium resin bound surfaces.
Design & Materials
To achieve a crisp and contemporary finish, two complementary SureSet materials were selected:
-
6mm Sterling Midnight — used to create a distinct feature border around the driveway and to craft a bespoke crescent moon and star motif at the entrance.
-
6mm Sterling Silver — installed across the main driveway area, offering a clean, bright, and high-end appearance.
The design incorporated aluminium edging to provide precise definition between the border and main surface, ensuring clean separation and long-term stability.
Installation Process
The underlying base consisted of a reinforced recycled cellular structure, chosen for its strength, permeability, and sustainability. This base supports the resin bound surface while contributing to effective water management—an essential feature for long-term driveway performance.
Installation took place during a dry, clear weather window, allowing the team to achieve the perfect resin-to-aggregate bond and seamless finish expected from a SureSet-approved installer.

The finished driveway delivered:
-
A striking visual impact, with the crescent moon and stars providing a warm, welcoming focal point.
-
A fully permeable surface, compliant with SuDS requirements.
-
Exceptional durability and long-term performance thanks to premium materials and skilled installation.
