Case Studies
Bickleigh Barracks Memorial Garden
As a tribute to their fallen comrades, the Marines of the 42 Royal Commando raised the money needed to commission and install an 8ft bronze statue of a Royal Marine. The pathways before consisted of square blocks that had become uneven over time and a trip hazard. The solution was to introduce smooth even routes and the Leeson resin bound product was chosen for its decorative, porous and anti-slip properties. This means that it not only looks good, but the rainwater won’t collect on the surface, but drain through, and will reduce the risk of slipping during the winter.
Tavistock Farmhouse
The owners of this farmhouse at Tavistock in Devon were over the moon with their new driveway installation of LeesonBound PU4844. They had instructed the contractor to match existing stone on the site and to blend with the colour of the house. The contracting company delivered with a precise match to their client’s request and installed it to an extremely high-quality standard. The self-draining properties of LeesonBound were of significant importance to the customer, as was the anti-slip finish. The appeal of a resin bound driveway is that it can be combined with any blend of aggregate according to the client’s preference.
Stowford Mill
The buildings on the site of Stowford Mill were judged to be of historic value and were very finely redeveloped into accommodation. The entrance, driveway and courtyard areas were installed with LeesonBound PU4844 and a warm honey mix of aggregate to compliment the buildings. Having the backdrop of the viaduct, constructed by Brunel in 1848, makes the transformation even more stunning.

Sutton Hoo Visitor Centre

The site of the Anglo-Saxon ship burial, which was uncovered in 1939, contained the most astonishing gold and jewelled artefacts ever found. A full-size sculpture of the Anglo-Saxon ship that lay buried for over 1300 years makes a striking feature against the LeesonBound base.
