01 / BEFORE
The original front garden
The starting photographs record the lawn, planting, walls and narrow entrance before any work began. This gives a clear comparison with the open finished driveway.

THE BRIEF
OPEN UP THE
FRONTAGE.
The original front garden, planting and enclosed frontage left limited usable off-street space. The area was opened up to create a practical driveway while retaining tidy boundaries and access to the house.

02 / ACCESS & LAYOUT
Planning the usable space
Different angles show how the existing garden and access related to the house. The new layout was formed around the retained side boundaries and front-door approach.
03 / EXCAVATION
Cleared back properly
The lawn, planting and redundant frontage were removed and the area excavated, creating the depth and open footprint needed for the new driveway construction.
04 / SUB-BASE
A solid prepared foundation
Stone was placed across the formation and prepared to the required shape and levels before surfacing. This hidden stage is essential to how the finished driveway performs.
THE FINISHED RESULT
AN OPEN, PRACTICAL TARMAC DRIVEWAY.
The completed surface transforms the frontage into useful off-street space and gives the property a much cleaner, more open appearance. This is a separate Airdrie project from GMGB’s Glenmavis driveway case study.
