every delivery now has to have the name of company on the vehicle who I placed the order with or it will not be being delivered at all

Don't blame you mick. There is also the issue of damages as well, much higher percentage because as you say, the people who are delivering could not give a damn about what they are delivering. We usually end up sending replacements at our cost but it still causes problems for the contractor

I went to Barnes on Friday to photograph a project using our Yorkstone. The contractor (Landscaping Solutions LTD) is planning to put the project for a BALI principal award.











The stone is Buff Yorkstone cut straight from the block. I really like the project because to me it demonstrates that "the outdoor rooom" style of garden does not always have to be a super contemporary scheme. This one had a real traditional feel to it. This was a nother job done by the same contractor a couple of years ago but in the more contemporary style (this one won a BALI prinicipal wars)

Hi guys, hope everyone is well. We had a massive block of York stone delivered the other day, biggest one yet. Thought I'd upload a few piccies for you to see. An average block measures approx. 2.3m x 1.3m x 1.3m. This block measured 3.3m x 1.5m x 1.2m before we began cutting.

LLL - I'm sorry I missed you the other day, was hoping to say hello when you popped in but I was with a customer in the showroom. It's good that you finally managed to meet Ste though - did you manage to get a cup of tea out of him??

That cafe is not great for coffee, whatever you order you get exactly the same thing - just sometimes it comes with chocolate powder on top.

The forklift is huge, it's really difficult to show quite how big it is on a photo. Somehow it never looks as impressive as it does 'in the flesh'.

Question for all the Paving Experts

Has anyone ever done a cost comparison for traditional pointing v gun mortar pointing v 1 part resin sweep in's.

Its a question I was asked recently and left me a bit stumped
