From cracked concrete to golden resin in Stamford
A stone townhouse on the western side of Stamford, with a 1980s concrete drive that had cracked, settled and started ponding against the step. The brief: a surface that looked as though it had always belonged to the house.
What we did
The old slab came out completely — overlaying cracked concrete just moves the cracks upstairs — and we rebuilt from formation level with a permeable open-grade base. Drainage had been the site's real problem: water off the drive had nowhere to go but the house. The new build-up lets rain pass through the surface, with a discreet channel protecting the threshold.
For the finish, the owners chose a golden-buff Vuba blend from sample trays judged against the property's limestone in daylight. Granite sett edging frames the resin and ties into the existing stone boundary wall; both manhole covers were replaced with recessed trays and surfaced over, so the drive reads as one uninterrupted surface.
