Just been going over the last few days in this thread to see what I've missed. Those steps are brilliantly done Mr Pink especially given how little space you had to work with I hate doing stuff like that it just pickles my head. I have to say though and I'm sure it's nothing to do with you but WTF is that conifer still doing there and who the hell did the pruning it's looks like sh#g all and does nothing for the aesthetics. A potted plant would've ben much neater and you'll be back in a couple of years to sort it once the paving's started to lift.Thepinkpavingco wrote:

Figured it was something like that, given the quality of your work. I advise customers but ultimately they're paying so they get what they want. I have slabbed over whole gardens with grey 2x2s before, was shaking my head the whole time :laugh:mickg wrote:thank you carberry
I understand what your saying with the darts and slips but on a domestic driveway its not always aesthetically pleasing to the eye with inbound cutting and I ask the customer which they would like to see and they all say darts and slips so that's why we do it
I take my own photos Dan, I used to use a cannon EOS 450D but now I use a Sony HD video camera and from the video I take the still shots
thank you Dan
thank you mike
come on everyone lets see photos of your work too

That is a Yew or a conifer of some strain, can't see it ever being a cordyline MSHPablo wrote:Thepinkpavingco wrote:
