From Grass to Gravel: 22 Driveways, 11 Days, One Determined Team!

Nigel Brayley • May 31, 2025

Installing fresh driveways at Fairway Holiday Park, Sandown – fast, tidy, and built to last.

TL;DR – Fairway Holiday Park Project at a Glance:

✔️ 22 driveways and 2 pathways completed in just 11 days

✔️ 250mm compacted crushed rubble base with recycled tarmac chippings

✔️ Full slabbed pathway laid around a new lodge

✔️ Used our own 8-ton, 4-ton, and 1-ton diggers plus 6-ton dumper

✔️ Concrete pad poured for a 20x8 container base

At N Brayley Roofing & Building, we don’t just work fast — we work smart. Over just 11 days, our team has transformed Fairway Holiday Park in Sandown with the installation of 22 fresh driveways, 2 new paths, and a reinforced concrete pad for a 20x8 container.

Working across the site, we started by removing grass and topsoil, then dug down to prepare a solid base. Each driveway was then layered with 250mm of compacted crushed rubble, before being topped with recycled tarmac chippings – offering a neat, long-lasting, and eco-conscious solution for holidaymakers' parking.


Thanks to our own fleet of machinery — including 1-ton, 4-ton, and 8-ton diggers, plus a 6-ton dumper — we’re able to move quickly without cutting corners. No delays waiting for hired kit means cost savings and fast turnaround times for our clients.



As part of this phase, we also created a slabbed pathway around a new lodge and poured a solid concrete pad to support a container. Every job was carried out with care and consideration for residents and park management — keeping things tidy, safe, and on schedule.

This is part of a wider ongoing project, with 20+ driveways planned in total for Fairway Holiday Park. Whether it’s access improvements, driveway replacement, or full groundworks, we bring experience, equipment, and efficiency to every job.
