Brett Landscaping scores high marks with Heathside school installations

Brett Landscaping’s premium Invicta products have been used to create a range of walkways and modern hard landscaped areas for pupils of a new school in Surrey to use and enjoy.

Heathside School is a new comprehensive school, opened in September 2022, serving the communities of Walton on Thames and Molesey. The capacity of the school is 900, with the first two year groups in the school currently enjoying a state of the art, modern environment for education.

Brett Landscaping supplied the school with more than 2,100 square metres of Invicta products, to create the external walkways and paths between school buildings. The products were supplied in a range of finishes including Citrine (black fleck), Natural, Pearl and Onyx.

The Pearl and Onyx Invicta products were used to create a theatre style terrace in the main school yard, and a range of external communal areas for pupils to gather during their school day.

Central to the project was a pathway running through the main school buildings that involved a detailed design.

Brett Landscaping’s technical team helped contractors with the design and the laying pattern to ensure the final look and layout worked well with the other products and systems used across the school’s public spaces.

Brett Landscaping worked with BAM Construction on the project, during the first half of 2023 to supply products that could meet the high-quality design specification, the vision of the architect and client. The Brett team was able to identify project savings through the product manufacturing schedule, delivery timelines and working with the contractors for effective installation.

Nolan White, National Sales Manager for Brett Landscaping, said:

“Our Invicta products were ideal for the client’s vision of providing large areas of hard-wearing communal areas with a modern feel.

“This school has been designed to the highest specification to stand the test of time and the rigours of a 900-pupil institution serving the community five days a week for most of the year, and our products will provide a key element of maintaining the fresh look and feel of the external areas of the site even as the years go by.”
