Project objectives
Grand Union Village provided Bryant Homes with an opportunity to
stretch the boundaries of residential development design and set a
new standard for 21st century homes. Charcon’s challenge was to
provide a high specification, durable hard landscaping solution
that embraced the sophisticated styling of the marina and
surrounding area.
Charcon solutions
A combination of block and flag paving was supplied for use on
the development’s roads, parking areas, driveways, gardens and a
network of walkways surrounding the marina. The ongoing project
will see the current figure of 600 square metres of supplied block
paving dramatically increase as the work extends to the other side
of the marina.
“The canal and marina give Grand Union Village its unique appeal
and this has been reflected in the landscape design. We have worked
with Charcon in the past, so we were comfortable specifying the
company’s block and flag paving products throughout the
development”.
