Accrington Rear Block Paving Project
Each garden should be capable of displaying its own unique personality. This is why the team at Lakestone Paving believes that the phrase “one size fits all” is hardly relevant in regard to modern landscaping services. One illustration of such a mentality can be seen in a recent project in Accrington. What were some elements which enabled this undertaking to stand out from more generic solutions? Let’s quickly examine what was involved.
Custom-Made Block Paving Solutions
Many homeowners come to us when they want to add a touch of class to their existing properties. This project was certainly no different. As always, we began with a one-on-one consultation in order to better appreciate the ultimate goals. It was eventually decided that patterned block paving stones were the most logical way forward. Of course, the real work had only just begun.
Many of the existing elements within the garden first needed to be removed. This would ensure a solid and even base for the brickwork. It was also necessary to create a series of wooden borders in order to separate the patio from nearby areas of the garden. These also helped to eliminate any drainage issues.
The next step was to create a layer of compacted sand that would be capped by a plastic sheet. This served as a base for the subsequent bricks. It can be argued that this was the most labour-intensive portion of the project due to the dimensions of the patio itself.
The Centre of Attention
One main reason why customers tend to prefer block paving stones arises from the number of patterns and colours which can be selected. We opted for a herringbone format with a slight twist. Our artisans added a series of three overlapping diamonds in the centre of the patio. This provided an entirely unique touch which would enable the entire property to stand out from its counterparts. These elements were then finalised with a black brick border as well as a drainage channel so that water would not pool on the surface. Needless to say, the Accrington homeowner was amazed with the final results.
It takes an eye for detail as well as the mindset of an artist to accomplish such results. The good news is that Lake Stone Paving has been providing similar services to clients throughout Lancashire for a number of years.
