Finally got round to finishing my driveway/parking area - you know how it is, a builders house is always in a state of (dis)repair etc etc well my driveway was *under construction* for a good few months!

Finished in 6mm RedPave 6mm SMA 125p surface course...that'll shut up the rumour-mongers in the village! ("Oh, look, Dave_L can't afford to finish his driveway, that's not a very good example of their work, is it?")

New step, very pleased with that just waiting for the gallows bracket to arrive so the acro prop can be removed.

and finally a low-down look......

Lovely job, Dave, especially the step. No problems with a dpc at your gaff I see!

Did you cut or split the pavers?

TopPave 50mm Autumn Gold, some leftovers from a recent job, together with some charcoal blocks along the back edge.

The kerb blocks? Not cheap, I'm sure - haven't paid for them yet, got to take back the unused ones tommorrow or Friday, will find out! Quite big and heavy - can be laid in three different orientations.

Nice job!

I quite like the red tarmac -- but it's simply not available on this side...
