140 sq mtrs done and dusted

[suki]

hi just thought i'd share these with u all this was our latest job it was 144 sq metres and took around 7500 ish eaton 60mm marrigold blocks laid on a 45 degree herringbone and took 3 guys 9 working days. We used eaton bullnose edgers around the perimetre there was a wicked slope towards the house which we cured with a long gulley drain in front of the garage (which used to fill with water before) which we stitch drilled into a underground drain, we also constructed a step at the entrance so any water flowing down the driveway will be redirected to the drains and not hang around the doorway, luckily it pished it down for a couple of hours on the last day as we were cleaning up and we observed zero standing water on the driveway :)the bullnose circle on the lawn is for a ornate lamp in the near future(electrics are in), we also had an area at the top of the driveway which we sheeted and covered with 13 tons of washed 20mm gold blend and is retained by the back face of the bullnose edgers. We collected our sheckles and the customer was very happy. many thx to tony who has helped me out with many a problem in the past :)

Looks really good, Suki - let's hope you get plenty of 'follow-ons' from this job. It's a nice drive to add to your portfolio. :)
