Scope of Work: Installation of ground grids and gravel surfacing for a durable driveway solution.

Project Overview:

This project involved the installation of a gravel driveway at a residential property in Frensham, Surrey. The work included the placement of ground stabilisation grids, followed by a layer of compacted gravel, resulting in a stable, long-lasting, and visually appealing driveway surface.

Key Steps Involved:

1. Site Preparation:
   • Cleared the designated driveway area of vegetation and debris to create a clean and level base.
   • Excavated the driveway to the required depth, ensuring a firm foundation for the gravel and grids.
2. Installation of Ground Grids:
   • Installed high-quality ground grids to provide stability and prevent shifting or sinking of the gravel over time.
   • The grids were laid out evenly across the entire driveway area, ensuring complete coverage.
   • Secured the grids in place to ensure they remained stable during gravel placement.
3. Gravel Laying:
   • Spread a base layer of gravel over the ground grids, ensuring it filled the grid cells completely.
   • Compacted the base layer to ensure a solid and even foundation.
   • Added a top layer of decorative gravel, achieving a smooth and uniform surface.
   • Raked and levelled the gravel to create a consistent finish, ensuring smooth transitions and neat edges.
4. Finishing Touches:
   • Defined the edges of the driveway using decorative stones to create clean borders.
   • Conducted a final inspection to ensure the gravel was evenly distributed and compacted.
   • Cleared any excess materials from the site, leaving the area tidy and ready for use.

Outcome:

The completed gravel driveway is both functional and visually appealing, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The use of ground grids ensures enhanced stability and reduces the risk of rutting or displacement, providing a robust surface that can withstand daily use and varying weather conditions.
