Tegula Block Paved Driveway Extension with Existing Driveway Cleaned and Sealed in Colchester
This project involved the extension of an existing driveway using Tegula block paving to seamlessly match the original area. In addition to laying the new blocks, the project included cleaning and sealing the existing driveway to refresh its appearance and enhance its durability. The goal was to create a larger, cohesive driveway that looked brand new while maintaining the character of the original design.
The Process:
Site Preparation
The project began by preparing the site for the driveway extension. This included clearing the area next to the existing driveway, removing any debris, soil, and overgrown vegetation to make space for the new block paving.
The ground was excavated to the appropriate depth to ensure a stable and level base for the new blocks.
Foundation Laying:
A sub-base of compacted hardcore was laid to provide a strong and durable foundation for the extension. This ensures that the new blocks remain level and stable, even with heavy vehicle traffic.
Laying the Tegula Blocks:
The new Tegula blocks were carefully laid in a pattern that matched the existing driveway, ensuring a seamless transition between the old and new sections. The rustic charm of the Tegula blocks complemented the property’s aesthetic, providing both beauty and functionality. The extension increased the available parking space while maintaining the traditional look of the driveway.
Cleaning and Sealing the Existing Driveway:
Once the extension was completed, the existing driveway was thoroughly cleaned using a high-pressure washer to remove dirt, moss, and other debris that had accumulated over time.
After cleaning, a high-quality sealant was applied to both the existing and new blocks. This not only enhances the color and vibrancy of the blocks but also provides protection against weathering, oil stains, and weed growth, ensuring the driveway remains in top condition for years to come.
Finishing Touches:
The edges of the driveway were carefully finished to create a neat and polished look. The entire driveway, now extended and revitalised, offered a cohesive and refreshed appearance that greatly enhanced the property’s curb appeal.
