I'd love a smaller paver like that BGP, ours is just too big for jobs like that.

i think the hand roller is ok if you get on it quick enough,all the gypos have one and me as well!

personally i would have hand laid the wearing course,as from experience some customers dont like seeing a joint in their driveway,though there arent a lot of decent hand lay gangs around these days.

Big area to hand lay though

Surprised there's not some new gizmo on pavers to get a better blend with the adjoining passes
