Resin Patio Installation with VUBA Mac System at Dolphin Court

project description

At Dolphin Court in Plymouth, the client aimed to enhance their outdoor living area with a modern resin patio. The existing garden at the rear of the property needed a durable and attractive surface, but without the disruption and expense of full excavation. The VUBA Mac system provided the perfect solution, combining strength, quick installation, and cost savings.
The process started with the installation of a clean stone base, carefully compacted to ensure stability. On top of this, a specialist mesh system was laid to evenly distribute the load and minimise the risk of cracking. The VUBA Mac was then installed at a depth of 20mm, creating a reinforced base suitable for patios. For this type of project, only a single layer of VUBA Mac is needed, ensuring efficiency without sacrificing strength.
Once the VUBA Mac layer was complete, the resin surface was applied over the top, creating a smooth, hard-wearing finish. In grassed areas, a grass mat system was used beneath the surface to maintain stability and provide long-term support.
The advantages of this method were significant. By using VUBA Mac, excavation requirements were reduced, saving both time and money. The reinforced structure provided greater strength than traditional foundations, while the ability to lay resin directly over the VUBA Mac immediately after installation made the project more efficient.
The work was completed within three days from start to finish. For the customer, the result was a high-quality resin patio that transformed the rear of the property into a functional and stylish outdoor space. By opting for the VUBA system, they gained from a cost-effective, modern installation that will stay durable for many years.

Client Testimonial

“Would I recommend Dave and the team. Absolutely. They’re going to come back and do my drive. I haven’t seen my brother for six months. He came over yesterday. Seen the standard, that this is at. And he’s going to call him up straight away. I had my garden done in resin and in Astro. Because, before it was like an absolute building site. It was not usable. And I wanted something versatile for the dogs. Easy maintenance. I didn’t want anything to, like, wipe their feet. Every time they come in on the grass, go inside. They want to transfer mud. And I wanted somewhere for the family. As we did yesterday with the barbecue. I wanted somewhere to host. It looked like a building site before we had it. It was just a complete mud moun, blocks, concrete, absolutely everything was just left like a building site. So rang up Dave to sort me out. How did I feel when I first saw it? Lost for words, if I’m honest. We were in a flat before we didn’t have a garden. We’ve been in here for 18 months. Still didn’t have a garden, so we were desperate for somewhere to sit, and to enjoy a garden. And this was. Yeah, I just blew out the park really. What did I think of Dave and the same lovely lads. They cracked on with it. They done it in a shorter amount of time than they said, but yeah, just just perfect blokes really.”
