Short story. New house, collapsed drain, my problem, need to dig out and replace 1m of pipe. Professionals doing that bit.
The drain is about 0.5m down so not too bad.
Once the drain is sorted and hardcore put back etc, it will need patching with new tarmac, which will look horrible. Do I;
- nothing you can do silly, the patch will look terrible for years until weathered
- try and disguise it as a manhole cover or something else
- this is quite near the edge of the driveway, which already has some brick edging, I could do a 1m strip of brick paving near the top across the entire width of the drive
- stop messing around and re-do the entire drive (it probably needs widening in the future anyway)
- some other magic solution I've not thought of?!
Thanks in advance
