It will just fit inside the body of an 6/8 wheeler, ideal for splitting off split loads of tarmac, from memory it's 2150mm. Pretty big for an 8 ton machine!

very nice work there ambient,
it has the look of mickg about it
very rarely do we get drives to those standards that you and mick are doing down this way
are you finishing of the softscaping? or is that someone else's job?
i ask this because down here very few do and so its hard to include in the price
excellent
:)

LLL me and mick compete in mostly same areas but i normally lay tegula or sorrento 90 degree off the house but had a few customers in last 6 months wanting 45 degree this one is actually 40 degree off the house specified by customer and he checked it before we finished.

haggi block is plaspave sorrento brunello with double plaspave como granite stone border
threshold is just the square small block ???

why would he want 40 degrees?
i could understand 52 to match the pyramids or summat?
I like the way both you and mickg's drives are in a totally flat plane
first bloke i worked for use to make me put ramps in to save on digging,looked absolutely cat
anyway good stuff

Nice work ambient. I like the Borders also. What colour is the drive when wet? looks a bit dusty or that the camera haha

Did they spec the border or you?

you can see colour a bit better on this one give it a couple of weeks weathering and colours come back i specd the border used it before fiddly but looks good,
LLL we usually leave some soil on the sides to soil up the borders after but anything else is extra he thought 40 degree would be better for cuts for some reason
