Top quality workmanship
Talking of caps what do you think of these.
At that price they won't be top quality, more expensive than council types but still affordable.

They also do copings to match
Off ebay they are known as Hornsey Mouldings

That looks great Paul. Only thing I'm not sure on is the path, hard to say from the photos but that edging might be too much for the width of the path.

the small block within the circles are tobermore mayfair granite setts which were the nearest match to the argent light border, I have asked and asked many times can Marshalls start to manufacture small units in complimentary colours of their existing paving to allow us to use their products to create details like tight radius circles
yeah the flags are Marshalls fairstone sawn paving
the pillar caps and copings are similar to those I used Bob, I looked everywhere and it was the customer who found the company on our doorstep
the blue staffs are full bricks to the edge of the driveway from the wall up to the house including the full circle adjacent to the front of the house to give lateral restraint to the driveway, the rest we split
I used the bricks to give a different detail and colour instead of the convential tumbled kerbs or keykerb either large or small plus I needed to have a square edge both sides where the circle wraps into the lawn and also where the paving is flush with the grass too otherwise the turf would of butted up to a shamfer or pencil round curve if I had used a small keykerb meaning the turf would not be flush with the top so the lawn mower can skim accross hence giving a bad detail for maintaining the grass.
I could of achieved the same flush finish with drivesett tumbled kerbs but I have used thoses for years and it ends up with the drivesways all looking similar - thinking outside the box

Just about got it as far as we could so it wasn't too far to track it in with the digger. Thank god the weather is good at the moment.
Bringing the surface course in with the bobcat Tues/Weds this week, that's gonna be a fiddly job.
