Maple Grove Estate – Driveway & Front Lawn Renewal Project
This project focused on transforming a neglected driveway lawn in Surrey, UK, into a polished, low-maintenance green entrance. The original turf had become sparse from heavy foot traffic and poor drainage, leaving the area uneven and unattractive. The objective was to improve soil health, install durable turf, and create a crisp, uniform finish that complemented the property’s modern exterior. The result was a fresh, inviting entranceway with long-lasting curb appeal.
Project Overview
A short intro summarizing the project:
This 120 m² front lawn renovation in Surrey gave new life to a worn driveway landscape. Over a five-week period, we repaired the soil, installed resilient turf suitable for high-traffic areas, and added sharp lawn edging to frame the driveway. The homeowners now enjoy a vibrant, neat frontage that enhances the overall property design and requires minimal upkeep.
“When working on entrance lawns, durability is key. By using traffic-resistant turf and reinforcing the soil, we ensured the lawn will stay healthy despite daily wear. The end result is a finish that looks sharp and holds up long-term.”
