Terrabase Rustic rejuvenates seating area with low maintenance resin bound paving to solve issue of migrating stone in Wroughton, Swindon.

Wroughton-aircraft-seats-terrabase-rustic-resin-bound-1Addagrip approved contractor Coatstone Surfacing Ltd was invited by Wroughton Parish Council to provide some decorative but practical surfacing to the base of these wooden aircraft shaped benches in Willow Brook Gardens in Wroughton, Swindon, as part of the community garden’s development plan 2018 – 2023.

Wroughton-aircraft-seats-terrabase-rustic-resin-bound-2The wooden aircraft benches which were installed in 2012 as a celebration of the local historical connections to an RAF airbase, were showing signs of damage. Much of this was due to grit from the bases on which the benches stand being transferred on users’ feet, to the seats, resulting in surface damage and erosion of the protective oil coating. The council were looking for a suitable grit-free replacement paving for the bases and resin bound Terrabase Rustic offered just such a finish.

Wroughton-aircraft-seats-terrabase-rustic-resin-bound-4The innovative minimum dig resin bound product was installed without an invasive base to offer a low maintenance, grit free surface with excellent porosity to ensure no standing water.

The upgrade to these seating areas was carried out just before the April Bank Holiday and as the installation was taking place the crew received plenty of favourable comments from local visitors who were pleased to see these lovely benches being upgraded and protected for many to enjoy over the years to come.

The installation was complete in April 2021.

Addagrip approved contractor Street Tree Care Ltd was invited by Westminster City Council to install a durable resin bound surface for established trees in a busy pedestrian square in central London.

The traffic island in Grosvenor Square, Westminster, was home to three large London Plane trees with problematic roots breaking through the central tree pit area and lifting the block surround causing a potential trip hazard in the pavement.

The requirement was for a resin based surfacing system that would give both high porosity and flexibility to address the issue without damaging the tree roots.

Addaflex-R, with its mix of natural aggregate and rubber was the ideal choice. A combined area of 50m2 of Addaflex-R in a City Grey blend was installed to the three tree pits resulting in a low maintenance, slip resistant porous paving that allows safe pedestrian access from the inner square to surrounding streets.

The work was completed in October 2020.

Christchurch Gardens, London

ChristchurchGardens_TerrabaseRustic2bIn late 2018 Westminster City Council commissioned WSP & Reardonsmith Landscape Architects to develop the design proposals for the Public Realm Improvements on Christchurch Gardens, a green space in Westminster, London.

Works on the £3.3Million scheme commenced in October 2019 with extensive remodelling of the park to provide open and inviting footpaths into the gardens, new lawns, extensive planting and seating to offer a flexible open space that reflects the site’s historical background.

ChristchurchGardens_TerrabaseRustic 1The garden is the site of the former burial ground for St Margaret Westminster dating from 1625 and Christ Church Westminster which was destroyed in the Blitz in 1941, leaving the site an open space until it was converted into a public garden in 1950.

Working with main contractor F M Conway, Addagrip approved contractor Street Tree was responsible for sourcing and planting large specimen trees, provision of 750 tonnes of soils and the installation of the 475m of Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound permeable paving that runs throughout the site.

ChristchurchGardensLondon-5Due to the existing location of large London Plane trees along the perimeter of the garden and a desire to avoid compromising the trees, porous Terrabase Rustic in a 6-10mm Oak blend was installed onto a porous asphalt with Cellweb base. This provided a solution to allow site traffic access to these routes throughout the construction phase.

The new resin bound surface provides decorative natural aggregate porous pathways with a rustic feel in keeping with this inviting green space in the heart of the city.

Installation was completed in September 2020.

Resin bound Terrabound provides new multi-purpose path for pocket park improvements near Wandsworth.

Bramford Gardens 11

As part of the plan to upgrade Bramford Gardens, a pocket park near Wandsworth, improvements included reconstruction of the existing separate cycle path and foot path to provide a new shared pedestrian cycle path route, together with repainting of existing railings, planting trees, turfing, renewing signs and installing new benches.

Addagrip approved contractor O’Hara Bros Ltd dug up the existing cycle route and pedestrian path to create a wider shared route and installed 200m2 of BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing in a 10mm Trent blend. The new surface is porous, seamless and has revitalised the park with a decorative yet low maintenance paving. The challenge was working in a busy public place, maintaining the safety of the public and keeping work areas to a minimum to make the useable area as accessible to the public as possible during the installation. Park gate access and parking required the use of smaller machinery and storage points outside of the working area.

Wandsworth Borough Council were pleased with the new low maintenance, multi-function surface.

Work was completed 26th June 2019 in line with the 2 week programme agreed with the client.

Rosemoor-15Addagrip is delighted to have been involved in this design project at RHS Rosemoor in Devon, creating a stunning new garden with rainfall in mind.

 

 

 

Roesmoor-14Addagrip approved contractor IDream Solutions was invited to install over 320m2 of resin bound pathways for the new Cool Garden designed by multi-award-winning designer Jo Thompson.  The design has a strong focus on water, embracing the challenge of the high levels of rainfall experienced in the region. The garden consists of a series of curving rills which make their way through the garden, disappearing and reappearing to flow into the pond at the bottom of the sloping site and provides an example of how effectively a designed landscape can accommodate heavy rainfall and flash flooding.

Addagrip resin bound pathway RosemoorWith water flow in mind, BBA certified Terrabound resin bound porous surfacing was chosen for the curving pathways that follow the rills and form organic shaped planting beds, helping to reduce surface water runoff. A 6mm Hazelnut natural aggregate blend was selected to contrast with the cool coloured planting scheme and complement the dry stone walling, providing seamless, low maintenance, decorative pathways for this stunning new garden.

Roesmoor-11

The installation was completed in time for the opening in July 2019.

Cowbridge Physic Gardens, South Glamorgan

cowbridgeNewsletterCowbridge Physic Garden is a ½ acre physic garden located within the heart of the ancient market town of Cowbridge and was originally part of the Old Hall Gardens, laid out by the Edmondes family in the 18th century. Badly neglected in the 20th century, it was brought back to life by enthusiastic volunteers and today is a glorious array of medicinal plants and herbs, typical of physic gardens from centuries past.

Having completed the construction of The Cowbridge Physic Garden in 2006, Addagrip approved installer Landcraft Projects Ltd was delighted to be approached by The Cowbridge Physic Garden Trust to advise on an alternative surface for the original stone dust paths which had begun to wear and breakdown leading to an uneven surface and muddy conditions in wet weather.
Having seen Terrabase Rustic used in Kew Gardens, The Physic Garden Trust were keen to have a similar surface in the garden and Landcraft were able to advise and provide samples of the many options available.

DCIM/100MEDIA/DJI_0305.JPG

To help them with their final decision, members of the trust arranged to meet Mr Mark Wilmot of Addagrip and members of the Kew staff at Kew Gardens to view the Terrabase resin in-situ and to discuss how the new surfacing is performing. Following their discussions with Mark and the staff at Kew the Trust decided on Terrabase Classic – the Terrabase system with a smaller 6mm Chestnut finish laid to a depth of 30mm.

 

 
DCIM/100MEDIA/DJI_0303.JPGThe garden is a very popular attraction in the historical market town of Cowbridge and attracts visitors from across the UK and beyond so the trust was keen to keep disruption to a minimum. With the limited access and the need to keep the garden open, Landcraft Projects proposed a 6-week programme with the surfacing works being undertaken in phases. Having removed and replaced approximately 500m2 of stonedust with the new Terrabase Rustic surface, whilst maintaining public access into and through the garden for all but one day, the works were completed a week ahead of programme.

We think the newly surfaced paths are a great addition to the garden with the subtle hues of the Rustic Oak providing effective delineation without detracting from the planting and will ensure the garden remains accessible to all for the foreseeable future.
