Silver Grey Resin Bound — Esher 1930s Semi-Detached

Replaced failing block paving on a 1930s Esher semi with 45m² of silver grey resin bound aggregate. The tree roots that had lifted the old blocks needed careful management.

The Challenge

A mature ornamental cherry along the left boundary had lifted several blocks and would almost certainly cause problems for a standard resin installation if not addressed.

The Solution

We cut back the most aggressive surface roots under the area to be paved, installed a root barrier along the boundary, and built a slight camber away from the tree. The 45m² area was then primed and finished in Silver Grey at 18mm depth.

The Result

A clean, even driveway that the homeowner says transformed the front of the house. The tree is undamaged and the root barrier gives the resin the best chance of lasting without disruption.
