General
We work across the South of England, from Somerset to West Sussex. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just get in touch.
Yes. We always offer a free, no-obligation consultation and clear written quote – no pushy sales tactics.
It depends on the size and type of work, but we’ll always give you an honest timescale up front. We’re known for turning up when we say we will and finishing on schedule.
Yes. We don’t just sell the job and disappear. Our experienced team handles the full installation to ensure quality throughout.
We’ll agree on the payment schedule clearly before we start. No surprises or hidden extras.
Resin Bound Surfaces
Typically around 15–20 mm, but the full system includes a proper sub-base like Vubamac to ensure strength, drainage and longevity.
The base is everything. We use systems like Vubamac for stability, permeability and durability. A bad base means cracks, sinking and headaches later on.
We think so! It’s fully permeable (SUDS compliant), weed-resistant, low maintenance and looks beautifully smooth with no loose stones.
With proper installation and care, 15–20 years or more.
Generally, yes – textured aggregates provide inherent grip, and anti-slip additives (like crushed glass) can be added for extra safety, especially in wet areas
A wide array: from subtle neutrals to bold blends or classic stone looks. You can also create contrasts with borders, patterns, or blended aggregates to match your home’s aesthetic
Minimal – just regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing. Prompt attention to spills and treating algae or moss in shaded areas will keep your surface looking fresh for years
Not if UV-stable resin is used. Cheap resins can yellow over time, but we only use premium UV-resistant systems that keep their colour for years.
Porcelain Paving
Yes. They’re manufactured with textured, anti-slip surfaces – safer than many natural stones even when wet.
No. Porcelain has very low porosity, so it resists stains from food, drink or algae.
No sealing is required. It’s naturally low-maintenance.
Usually just a sweep and an occasional hose or light jet-wash.
Porcelain paving is UV-stable and retains its colour beautifully over time.
Artifical Grass
High-quality grass like Namgrass can last 15–20 years with minimal maintenance.
Yes. Namgrass is non-toxic, UV-stable and designed for soft, safe play.
Grassmac is a game-changing permeable base for artificial lawns. It drains well, resists movement and keeps your lawn looking smooth for years.
It can warm up in direct sun, but Namgrass is designed to stay cooler than many alternatives. A quick hose-down can help on very hot days.
Just occasional brushing and rinsing. It’s very low maintenance compared to real turf.
Aluminium Windows & Doors
Aluminium offers slimmer sightlines, excellent durability, modern thermal efficiency and a sleek, premium look.
Loads! From classic white and grey to bold custom colours. We’ll help you choose the right finish for your home.
Absolutely. Modern aluminium frames include advanced thermal breaks to keep heat in and cold out.
Very secure. They feature multi-point locking and strong, robust frames designed to meet high security standards.
With minimal maintenance, quality aluminium systems can last for decades without warping, rusting or fading.

Reviews
Very very good from start to finish.
We had a resin patio laid, and after Russell carried out the survey and quote, their team led by Adam arrived on the Monday and worked incredibly hard for two days to deliver a great final finish. They went above and beyond to suggest improvements to the garden design, and were attentive and keen to please. Excellent stuff, highly recommended team. Thank you.

Great Company
Amazing company to work with from start to finish. The driveway looks amazing. On top of this the team who did the great work were polite, friendly, tidy and even took the time to chat to our kids! A great experience. Can’t recommend more.

Trafalgar School Quad
Many thanks to Russell, Bill and Laura for producing a wonderful space that can now be utilised in our School. A special thanks to Adam and his crew for staying on to get the Quad finished. You are all stars!! If you could see the Students out there now you would see how important it was to get this area developed. Thank you all so much.
Trafalgar school, Portsmouth
Cherry homes were outstanding from start to finish.
The finished product truly finished off our extensive home renovations. Their product, professionalism and ultimate finish has left our driveway the envy of our street. Communication throughout was second to none. The team that laid the driveway were masters of their art. They started work at 9am and didnt stop until they were finished at the end of the day. We are so happy with the resin finish of our driveway that we are looking at having them return to lay a resin patio. You will not regret reaching out to Cherry home improvements to lay a resin driveway
A Hall
I would recommend to anyone.
We met with several companies before choosing Cherry Home Improvements to complete our driveway. From the first meeting with Russell we were impressed by his professionalism & knowledge which was carried forward to installation of our driveway by his incredibly skilled team. Following a large home renovation we have met several tradespeople but never with such an exceptional work ethic, the Cherry Home Improvements team are total perfectionists.

Russ and Alan have been fantastic from start to finish!
I enquired about a media wall before in October and didn’t complete on my new property until January but Russ checked in now and then and kept in contact the whole time! Extremely helpful when it came to delivery and felt like I could trust Russ from the get go. Absolutely great service and Alan did an amazing job at fitting it. I absolutely love my media wall, couldn’t recommend enough! Thanks so much to both Russ and Alan!
