Granite Sett Driveways
Granite setts are extremely strong, durable and require little maintenance, this means they are perfect to use when laying driveways. Granite is a natural material and their appearance does not deteriorate over time meaning years of good-looking driveways.
Our company has carried out a number of projects using granite setts. This one was designed by Colvin and Moggridge.
Boat Houses & Timber Structures
A lot of our work is to do with water so it was no surprise when we were asked to build a very substantial boat house designed by Colvin and Moggridge.
The boat house was an oak frame with cedar cladding (inside and out) with a cedar shingle roof. It took a team of three, around 4 months to build and is one of our greatest achievements to date.
Driveways
This 300m driveway designed by Timothy Garden Design was constructed in 2012 to a Norfolk manor house. It goes through historic parkland creating a fantastic view of the house as you drive down it. As part of the construction work we built an access road around the back of the house for service vehicles, installed parkland fencing, cattle grids and new tree planting.
This scheme won a landscaping award from South Norfolk District Council.
Water Gardens and Features
Water plays a major part in a lot our gardens at VDBH. From pond restoration to rills and streams, our work with water is some of the best in the country.
