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
