Project Overview

Elite Landscapes and Building Structures Ltd were appointed by SJ Thompson (Property Developer) to deliver the complete design and build landscaping package for two high-end new build properties in Harpenden.
 
The brief was clear:
 
Create premium, low-maintenance front and rear gardens with high-end resin driveways to maximise sale value and enhance kerb appeal.
 
Both properties were built for direct purchase buyers, meaning every detail needed to reflect luxury, durability and immediate visual impact.
 
The result?
Both properties sold immediately upon completion.
 
A key feature of this project was the installation of large-format resin-bound driveways, designed to complement the architectural style of the properties while delivering long-term performance.
 
Resin Driveway Specification:
•Fully excavated and re-constructed sub-base
•MOT Type 1 foundation
•Permeable resin-bound surface
•Decorative brick detailing
•Feature curved brick inlay pathway
•Brick soldier course edging
•Integrated drainage compliance
 
The warm-toned resin finish contrasts beautifully with the red brick façades, while the curved brick detailing adds a bespoke, high-end finish rarely seen in standard developer projects.
 
Why Resin Driveways Add Value in Harpenden
 
Resin-bound driveways are increasingly popular in Harpenden and across Hertfordshire because they offer:
•SuDS compliant permeability
•Low maintenance surface
•Weed resistance
•Long lifespan
•Premium aesthetic appeal
•Smooth, seamless finish
 
For developers, resin significantly enhances kerb appeal — a critical factor in first impressions and saleability.
