    This looks very well done to me, and I don't understand some of the negative comments which appear to be trolling at best. It's always a good sign that tradespeople have vans and uniforms with the company's logo on: shows that the ones in charge care about their reputation.

    I laid a 70 ' block driveway in the late 80's over engineered, 18 inches of rubble 6 inches of cinders ( free I worked at a small coal power station ) sand and all compressed with a wacker plate ( rubbered ).
    Longest job was cutting the edge bricks as it was herringbone pattern, used the kids as brick ferryers and whacked sand in.
    Result still looks good today as when laid, even had 7.5 tonne truck on it at times and no sinkage.

    Nicely done, I had to lay 240sq metres of marshalls tegula paving on a commercial building site yesterday and I'll tell you something...it wasn't easy!

    @Hambag2009 , sorry about the delay in getting back to you , the answer to your question is the square metal box we installed on the driveway is a resessed manhole cover. Which is a metal tray designed to install the blocks into to hide the origianal manhole.

    what is that square metal box thing in the floor near the drainage?

  • @darrenmoss7808
    @darrenmoss7808 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The cost was around 8k and blocks where not permeable as we drained water into a soakaway via a linear drainage system

    i think complaments are in order, thats the first time i¨ve seen someone laying pavements the same way i learn to do it and still do, the only thing i thought was thin the hardlayer of gravel/grus looked a bit thin then again its not that easy to see, how thick was it and how much and for how long does it freeze where you¨re working.

    Nice job u need one person laying tho cus they just get in each others way and with 2 laying the lines run out, sands crap as well always ends up sinking. Lime dust is the way forward

  • @AbellandscapesCoUk
    @AbellandscapesCoUk  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As the Marshalls catalogue states, expect to pay 80% labour costs to 20% paving costs.
    No, this is not a permeable block, instead we used a linear drainage solution.

    Needs sealing to bring the colour out on the blocks.

    Not that the new doesn't look fine. Those old paving slabs were beautiful. I would have just reset them.

    Pitty that you didn't show how you put down the drainage system. Otherwise nice.

      @darrenmoss7808 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Average at best,no retaining blocks on concrete around grass ,old drains left in and no concrete sub base will sink within 6 months

    The metal box is a night deposit box,that way when the driveway sinks, the homeowner can get his money refunded.What a great idea over in cold gloomy England.

    The design is so terrible .so much work and at the end it's looks dirty and it doesn't match the red brick of the house ...

  • @kristianludvigsen3141
    @kristianludvigsen3141 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    4 guys laying out hardcore. 1 guy and a machine can do it in half the time. It's like seeing a site from the 50's. all materials are being transported in wheel barrels wtf. Also having the pavement so high up on the brick wall is a big no. Moisture will get into the wall.
