new driveway

[liamj_6]

ive had a new block paved driveway laid, im really happy with it but i think the frost has got to the new concrete and i wondering if i will need to get it re done, and it was all done in a day which was a real suprise.

far be it from me to comment on a job you are happy with. The only concrete used should have been for the border, where needed. All other blocks should be on road stone topped off with sharp sand and then blocks laid on top.

So hopefully you should not have much to worry about.

If i was to comment, I would say that job was absolutely shocking and you ought to have been paid by them, not the other way around.

The bottom right hand corner cuts are terrible!...Edited to===the whole job is terrible!

Not being funny but I did better cuts and angles on my round lawn boarder blocks, which was my first attempt at block work.
Did you get someone in to do it or was it done by yourself?

Perhaps the mods should move this thread to the 'Rogues Gallery'?

Thought it looked familiar...

It does appear to be a bit 'funny' (iffy) with the same picture appearing in a thread purporting to be from a "Driveways Patios and Paving Specialists" in the link that spartacus posted. Claims to be not his work in the other thread but I am not sure where we stand with Liam claiming he has had the work done recently but the pictures were from August 2010 when we did not have a great deal of frost to break up the concrete, if I remember correctly.

Block pave drive next to my mates is just as shocking as was the garden wall pmsl.

It is 18 years since I stopped doing them, but mine are still as level as the day they were done. Should have said flat, rather than level.

What a shower of sh*t, No wonder the OP hasn't been back since posting this thread id hide as well.

im not sure what all the fuss is about,

i paid to have my driveway re done, and im happy with the job, i know the colour isnt briliant but its the only colour that they said theycould get, but i cant believe how much it makes the house look different and may have added value. I couldnt recomend the contractors enough. Im hoping to ask them back later in the year to build me an extension to the back garden.

thanks for all your help

Shouldn't take too long to knock the fence down: et voilà Rodney.
