Look! No tarmac!!

Work has started on putting the top surface onto the pathways around the village, and not an inch of tarmac in sight!
As the construction of this phase of the village nears completion we can start to put the finishing touches to the landscaping and pedestrian access.
In keeping with the 'car free and eco-friendly' policy of the village the paths are being made with natural materials that are compacted to produce a stable and even surface for walking on.

Landscaping at Geshaview


After 3 years of careful and deliberate protection of all of the ground, trees and fauna on the village site we have finally started to create the ‘outdoor decoration’ of the village. 
 The levelling of the top soil and the sowing of grass seeds (1,000kg and 7 different varieties) is giving the village a green carpet that blends the houses to their surroundings. 
Geshaview is beginning to to look less like a building site and more like the tranquil, eco-friendly village envisaged from the start.
