A driveway and patio in Southwick
A front and back transformation: a new block paved driveway with contrasting borders and curved planting areas, then a large block paved patio and sweeping curved steps to the rear. The work that decides how it performs is under all of it.
The brief
Front and back as one job
Two spaces, one property, one film. Shown separately they look like two smaller jobs.
Show the preparation
Curves, cuts, levels and drainage are what separate this from the cheapest quote, and they are all invisible by the end.
Make the layout legible
Curved borders and planting areas only read properly from above.
Show the crew
A groundworks firm sells its team as much as its materials.
What I filmed
Aerial of the finished front
The whole frontage, borders and planting in one frame.
The work in progress
Excavation, sub-base and the machinery on site.
Cuts and edging
Close on the block cuts and the contrasting border, which is where the skill is.
The rear steps
Sweeping curved steps and the patio they lead onto.
The crew working
A few seconds of people, which does more than any logo.
Top-down finish
Straight down over the driveway so the pattern reads.
