That is the problem with bashing bluds, worse still they dont always suspend the sentence.

It is a bit backbreaking but basically if you do it yourself it shouldn't cost much at all. Basically you need to dig down a few inches (so that the final level is well below your damp course), put in a layer of hardcore, compact it down (you can hire a tool for this for basically nothing from any tool hire place), pour in a layer of sand, lay the flags and make sure they are firmly banged down into the ground and then finally brush a dry mix of sand/cement into the cracks.

Having re-laid driveways 3 times now, the only way to make sure you dont end up with a crap looking driveway is to make absolutely sure that you've done the stuff you wont be able to see properly - you never want to have to try and fix the layers underneath months later, it is a nightmare.

Type 2 MOT.

Wacker plate.

Sand, gravel, cement.

Flags.

BIG rubber mallet.

Jobs a good'un.

What's a blud?

I have always been of the opinion that shingle drives look best, and are easiest to keep looking fresh (as you can simply dump more shingle on top when they start looking weathered and/or sink at all.

I have done 3 driveways the same now;

Type 2 MOT

Whacker plate

~Square meterage/10 tons of cotswold 20mm shingle.

=

No point ever spending out on finished surfaces, and the process is easier than laying out flagstones which imho never ever suit parking area's. Did a ~100m^2 driveway recently for <£500 through buildbase, with the best looking finish available.

Blud as in "cool car, blud, you get what im saying star"

The sort of little **** bags that go round scratching cars.

Depends on the location, people on housing estates with shingle / gravel drives should be shot, because the stuff ends up all over the road.

Don't like tarmac drives, hate those fake finish things they lay and then print a design onto, flagstones look naff.

Best and one of the most expensive solutions is tastefully selected brindle blocks, not cheap but if layed correctly on proper foundations they don't really sink, only issue is you need to re-sand, which is a pain in the bottom.

I just read this thread and I want to assure you all I wasn't looking at you funny, nor was I thinking of spilling your pint.
