It was always one of Emma’s dreams to take her garden solutions to the next level. She wanted to make it look pretty but did not have much idea about how to make it picturesque. Concepts like a winding garden path leading to a cosy seating area and surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery were always at the top of her head.
While she knew about a few concrete construction services, she had little idea how to make them work. This is exactly when she understood that she would have to turn to professionals, and who better than an expert in concrete services?
Quest for the perfect solution for all garden dreams
When Emma first reached out, she wasn't even aware of what her bucket list looked like. She just had too many ideas and wanted everything to work out in her favor. Her list included things like something durable, aesthetically pleasing, and low maintenance. However, her primary want was one - an eco-friendly atmosphere that wouldn't impact her garden quality.
A common thing about Emma was that she would often spend hours watching DIY tutorials. She would also end up reading blogs on garden paths. Some suggested gravel, while others recommended wooden planks. However, deep down, Emma knew that none of these would ever work in her favor.
After understanding exactly what elements that she wanted, we introduced her to the idea of ready mix concrete. This one is very different from the commonly available traditional concrete materials that we find. The ready mix concrete is very versatile and you can use it across various needs, with ease. It can easily lend itself to outdoor activities and that too without having to sacrifice the durability of the structure.
What Made Permeable Concrete the Correct Choice?
Throughout our consultation session, we ensured that Emma was able to understand what are the various options available and which one would suit her needs the best. We also introduced her to pumped concrete which is one of the best options for gardens. She was quite shocked about the application of the same and the way it molded itself consistently. However, one thing that caught my attention was permeable concrete. This was a type of concrete construction that allowed all the water to pass through. It also considerably reduced the puddles and prevented erosion.
During our sessions, we understood that the major problem with the garden was drainage-related hindrances. Introducing the permeable concrete in this case would be a game changer. It would help maintain the integrity of her path. At the same time, it would also support the surrounding plant life by allowing rainwater to seep into the soil. She also discovered that permeable concrete reduces the risk of slipping. Consequently, it made the garden a much safer choice for her family and guests.
To make sure that she has the right understanding of the entire garden and how we intend to go about it, we also introduced her to past successful projects. She was particularly inspired by a homeowner who had incorporated embedded stones into their path. This particular layout ensured that the entire garden had a completely natural and organic look. Emma realised that concrete didn’t have to be dull or industrial. It could be designed in a way that it can perfectly blend with the surroundings and give the environment a beautiful and natural finish.
Challenges with Visualising the Layout
Throughout our experience of a very common problem that we have noticed is that even after explaining every detail to our clients, they often do not have the right idea about which is going to work well with them. Often there is a persistent gap in visualisation. This is why we have thought of involving a professional app developer in London. With the help of this app, Emma was able to get a complete insight into what we were talking about.
The best thing about the app was that she was able to make small changes and understand which particular layout would work best for her. She played around with various layouts and even put forth a mix-and-match that would be the perfect blend of the best designs.
Benefits of the Choice
As a concrete supplier, we must bring forth what makes this choice one of the best in comparison to the other options. The answer is simple - it is the eco-friendly nature along with the durability. Some materials tend to contribute to water runoff and drainage issues. This is in stark contrast with permeable concrete that allows rainwater to seep through, replenishing the soil and preventing erosion.
This even made Emma quite thrilled about the potential choices and how she could make it work. She was ecstatic to know that her garden was thought out in a way that has not hampered nature in any way. She was also pleased with how low maintenance the garden was, given that the look was one of the most posh options available.
What made it so budget-friendly? A very common problem with gravel is that it requires regular refilling. This problem is also persistent with the usage of wooden pathways. The wooden pathways often need sealing and protection against moisture. However, Emma’s new concrete path would remain intact for years with minimal upkeep. This is one of the major reasons why she was able to keep her maintenance costs low.
