Lots of lovely projects in the can awaiting editing. Some great collaborations with some wonderful clients and a very fun if sopping wet Open Day event earlier in the month. Thanks to all those who came to see us on our Open Day. Looking forward to showing your more of these projects on our socials in the weeks to come.
Music on this one from our Open Day - a bit of vinyl indulgence on a couple of trance classics - Greece 2000 - Three Drives on a Vinyl (Miro Vocal Mix) into Ian Van Dahl - Will I (Lange Remix)
Happy Friday!

    And ofcourse in India all the british structure made up of natural stone not a artificial one. And because of natural stone structural all the british made buildings are still strong and surviving from last 20 decades. No competition with natural stones

  • @muditagrawal1524
    @muditagrawal1524 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Natural sandstones are more durable and have long life rather than artificial porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are not suitable for climate they can't even handle 200° temperature. Its very difficult to survive in such huge temperature. Porcelain are totally fake. Natural always be natural.

      @foreststoneuk 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's pretty time consuming to lay Vs something like a block paver but it's much longer lasting. I'll as some of the landscapers we deal with and give you a rough ball-park to help you gauge it.

    • @foreststoneuk
      @foreststoneuk 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Having asked around (and this does depend heavily on what region you live in as costs of everything very by region) I think anywhere from £240 to £350m2+VAT (given good access) is a good guide price (including materials) for a driveway build with stone setts like this. The base should be minimum 200mm Compressed Type 1 but preferably concrete if you want good longevity and this sort of base construction and prep costs a fair bit. Obviously there are a lot of variables like top surface material, pointing material, access for machines etc... but hopefully this gives you an idea!

    Really nice looking patio tiles. Though a big styling mistake people make is have a grey base and furnishing it with grey too. Folks, grey goes well with everything except itself.

  • @joefowler9600
    @joefowler9600 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    So is this right, compacted 200mm minimum type 1 sub base, 30mm (4:1 grit sand / cement) minimum bed and bonding slurry on the back of the slabs? Thanks

    • @foreststoneuk
      @foreststoneuk 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah minimum 200mm compacted type 1 but it does depend on the ground. On something like clay you probably want concrete instead with expansion joins when needed. Also is good to bear in mind the weight of the vehicles and how many of them will be using the drive. More vehicles and more weight would need a stronger base that is potentially thicker or with re-enforcing mesh etc... Cheers!

  • @JonTaylor-u8w

    Does limestone paving work best in conjunction with building sand and very little cement as a mortar bed as opposed to limestone dust and plenty of cement (4/1 ratio)? Looks like a really nice product, i would love a paved area like this in my garden. Nice tidy work

    • @foreststoneuk
      @foreststoneuk 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sharp Sand with cement is the best bedding mix for natural stone paving. More strength and structure to it. These days it's advisable to prime the backs of the slabs with a priming slurry too. Take a look at our website when the time comes for you to renovate your garden - you can easily order samples etc... Cheers!

  • @benjip55

    Hi, great video. Is the same theory true for concrete slabs? Could you use these for a driveway if it was laid on a concrete slab?

    • @foreststoneuk
      @foreststoneuk 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah same theory could be applied to any paving material really as long as it was suitable for use as your top surface and you used a grout that would also hold up for use on a drive. Cheers.

    • @foreststoneuk
      @foreststoneuk ปีที่แล้ว

      sounds bizarre!! Not normal that. It might be possible they started off as one tile and the factory have cut them thinner. This happens in the cheaper factories if they want to create a 1200x300 but only have a 1200x600 mould. So they make the 12x6 and cut it in half after production.
