Geo-grid sick of it sitting in the lock up so used it
smashed all the slabs up with the 14lb persuader before we spread the type 1
digging it out himself and just having us for a day he got his 30M done for £1000
which is proper mates rates in anyone money

Looks like, by the wall the old slabs were left in, or is it me old eyes deceiving me?

not at all sean they are there
originally i told him to dig them out but as he was tipping the soil in his back garden he wanted to leave them
i went over them and smashed every one with the persuader before we spread the stone
he used the mud in his back garden (why i dont know?) so 30m for a grand is cheap in anyones money
i reckon he saved himself £600 by digging it out himself,plus the wall kerbs and pavement were insitu so no additional concrete work was required
anyway the bottom line is it can be done on a budget with a will and a way
cheers LLL

Tony were did you get roller from? Is it a Bronze one doing a steep concrete drive up in the hills and was going to brush it but that be perfect can get them from speedcrete but they're expensive.
Nice brickwork, the bricks we are using are £600 for 530 imported from Belgium. Told the brickie to be more careful than usual hehe
