[mickg]

>>>>anyway just breaking your balls mick looking for any thing that you yourself would pick up on
no problem, that's why I post photos on here to make sure you lot keep me on my toes at all times

>>>>joining me on the setts soon
hmm I might give that a wide birth if you don't mind, Marshall's new Cobbletech maybe but not the big brutes you like throwing about cookie

yeah the pink is the colour or our red sand, due to the bad weather I had to give the brick riser a quick acid wash

I have cut 80mm x 80mm cubes out of the same paving what the pots now sit on

Nothing else to say but WOW !

[mickg]

thank you Steve

[London Stone Paving]

Its all top workmanship but its the little details that make the differences. Those small little tegs which follow the curves of the outline really stand out. Did you cut those yourself or were they supplied by Marshalls?

[mickg]

they got cut on site Steve

they are the 200mm x 100mm fairstone sawn and tumbled autumn bronze setts, we used a clipper petrol wet saw to cut down the centre giving us 2 pieces at 200mm x 50mm and they are bedded on their edge to give the tumbled finish

for the curves around the step we cut them in half again and for tighter curves we taper every other block or if required every block depending how tight the radius is

the driveway paving is all cut by hand using a TS410 with a Duro diamond tipped blade

Nice touch Mick

That is lovely! Do they do it in more grey tones? Thinking that'd look fantastic for my feature path/steps.

They do it in silver birch.


Expensive stuff though.

Ooooooo, thanks very much! It looks nice the silver birch.

Can't quite tell if it has the same lovely colour variations as the autumn bronze does though... do Jewsons stock it? Might go for a peep on my lunch.

How much do you reckon it'd be for like a 6m by 1m curvy path?

I want a 'wow' path, so I'm willing to save up for something nice to be honest. If it were down to my husband it'd be cheap but unfortunately for him I'm in control of this project, heheheheeeeee. :p

It isn't a stock item, have to order it in. You could contact marshall's directly and they would probably courier out a sample box to you that will have a few setts in it. If you're lucky Jewsons might have some sort of display that has a few of the setts laid.

Guide price, looking at £50 per sq. metre at a minimum. I've not ordered those setts from marshall's before but if i had to guess it's probably around the 70 or 80 mark.


More sandstone setts

phone you local travis perkins, the build centre or as a last resort jewsons, they are all Marshalls stockist but this product is normally to order only and comes in a crate with 7.6 m2

the silver birch does not have much tone difference and is quite uniform with the same colour on most of the blocks, personally I would use the autumn bronze as this colour will blend with the dark red brick your house is constructed with and will be aesthetically pleasing to the eye rather than a colour clash

carberry is right for a small quantity you will be looking in the region of £ 70 - £80 m2 but it is a premium product and looks fantastic when installed correctly

Fantastic work mick!

I am desperate to use the fairstone setts myself but havent had a client with the right kind of budget yet

[mickg]

thank you William
