Ealing, London W5
Front Garden in Resin & Stone
Front garden, resin driveway & stone path
The project
A front garden reworked with a resin driveway and a natural stone path to the door, keeping planting beds deep enough to screen parked cars from the house.
The effort behind it
Two mature street tree roots crossed the plot, so the whole build-up over the root protection area was raised on a no-dig cellular system agreed with the council's tree officer. That decision added cost and a fortnight, and it is the reason both trees are still healthy three years on.
Challenges faced
Front Garden in Resin & Stone asked the team to deliver a finished-looking garden in a single season — against wet ground, delivery restrictions in Ealing, London W5, and planting that only tolerates being moved at the right time of year. Sequencing hard works before any soil improvement, and holding an experienced crew together through the weather delays, was what made the difference.
Team & involvement
A core landscaping crew stayed with the project from first excavation to the final sweep, supported by our in-house stone masons, electricians and planting specialists. Because the same team set out, built and finished the work, the detailing stayed consistent across every square metre — and the client dealt with one foreman and one phone number throughout.
A successful outcome
One season after completion, the garden at Front Garden in Resin & Stone has settled exactly as designed: drainage performing through the wettest months, paving uncracked and planting establishing ahead of schedule. The client's own verdict, at the twelve-month aftercare visit, was that it looks as though it has always been there — the highest compliment a landscape can earn.
