Issue:

MJS Building Services was tasked with helping a customer improve their front garden while addressing an ongoing issue. The customer’s driveway was frequently used as a passing place on a busy, narrow road, causing inconvenience and potential safety concerns. They wanted to construct a wall along the front of their drive that was cost-effective, durable, and visually appealing. Initially, they considered a traditional brick wall but were concerned about the risk of damage from passing vehicles.

 

Solution & Benefits:

To meet the customer’s needs, MJS Building Services chose gabion baskets supplied by Suregreen. Gabion walls provided an ideal solution, offering a strong and practical barrier while maintaining a natural aesthetic. Unlike a brick wall, if a vehicle were to collide with the structure, only the affected gabion basket would need replacing—minimising maintenance costs and ensuring long-term durability. The gabion baskets were filled with natural stone, creating a visually striking and highly resilient boundary.

The installation of the gabion wall successfully prevented cars from using the customer’s driveway as a passing point while complementing the overall garden design. The customer also incorporated Suregreen railway sleepers and Scottish pebbles to enhance the landscaping, creating a cohesive and attractive outdoor space. The combination of these high-quality materials delivered a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution that met all of the customer’s requirements.

 

Conclusion:

By supplying gabion baskets, railway sleepers, and Scottish pebbles, Suregreen helped MJS Building Services deliver a durable, cost-effective, and visually appealing boundary solution. The gabion wall provided a long-lasting barrier against unwanted vehicle access while blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. This project highlights the effectiveness of Suregreen’s products in creating practical, attractive, and resilient outdoor solutions.
