The £15k Eyesore: Hiding the Wheelie Bins
You spend a fortune on a pristine resin driveway. The first thing people see is three ugly plastic bins. Here is how we hide them.
The £15k Eyesore
You rip up the old cracked concrete. You pay for a flawless, sweeping resin driveway. It looks incredible.
Then the council drops off three massive plastic wheelie bins.
You have a terraced house, or no side access. You have nowhere to put them. So they sit right by the front door or at the end of the drive.
It completely ruins the look of the house. You spent £15k on kerb appeal just to showcase your rubbish.
The Groundworker's Blind Spot
Most driveway contractors just lay the drive. They pave from the pavement to the bricks, pack up their vans, and leave.
They don't think about how you actually live. They leave you to figure out the bin situation.
We don't do that. We design the space before the digger even turns up.
The Timber Screen
We build custom bin stores.
And no, not the flimsy flat-pack pine ones from the local garden centre. Those warp and rot after one bad winter.
We build solid timber enclosures. We use cedar or black slatted Venetian wood. We match the timber to your side gates or your fence. It looks like architecture, not a box.
Built-In Brickwork
Want it totally hidden? We build the storage into the boundary walls.
We build a low brick wall to screen the bins from the road. Then, we top it with a built-in planter. Throw some lavender or a couple of olive trees in there.
You hide the plastic bins, and you get a bit of greenery back on the front of the house.
Finish the Job
Don't spend a fortune on a driveway and forget the details.
Hide the bins. Do it properly. Make the front of your house look like a home, not a recycling centre.
