Im really pleased with this little job, I had some Marshall's Jade green slate lying around for ages, only 2 sizes. This lady had saved for ages to get this little 15m2 patio done and could only afford a budget job but I did this and she was chuffed. I even smashed up the last few flags and tumbled the Chipping's in the mixer to fill the gravel strip

I thought that was not suitable for use on a drive due to its thickness

Your probably right dan but we had about 100mm type 1 100mm lean-mix full mortar bed 5:1 and the flags averaged between 35-45mm so only time will tell

Not knocking the work, just asking out of interest.

Ye I dont like putting the small units in. Didn't cut them been using them around lawns lately which gets rid of a few.
