[cookiewales]

Tradstocks will have good price for setts and numbers for gangs to lay them may also have second hand blue clay pavers

I have recently installed a 600m2 driveway with reiforced gravel edged with golden granite setts, I was very impressed with the finished results and the laying process. The clients were not inconvenienced at all we just laid a scaffold batton on the free edge and they ran in and out as we worked with no damage to the drive at all. They have run 2 rangerovers and our 7.5t wagon over it for 2 months and there is absolutley no movement in the gravel at all. I will be pushing the product as much as possible, its nice clean work, no dust, can be done in wet weather levels are easy to set as its permeable and you get the same labour rates as laying Tegs.
It wont work over your 16" concrete pad though unless you drill a fair few holes through it!

thanks for your advice on the grid/gravel system.
i think i will have to get rid of the concrete - guys on here are prejudiced against concrete

what system did you use? what depth was it? 30mm? or 50mm?

how much did the grid cost?
thanks

[haggistini]

Just ask cookie do it for you.(he likes haggis) just think of the cost divided by 12 and it's very reasonable as it will sell them all.

We used the InovGreen GF40. It was only £9 per m2 but our client was a building plastics manufacturer so pulled a few favours to get that price I think the list is £19 m2

[cookiewales]

Jack were not against concrete just trying to help but your not listening to good advice gravel in a courtyard with 40 plus movements a day plus and when you get a few Chelsea tractors gravel flying every where ps what about the ladies high heels gravel and catching in the plastic grids big payouts

Jack, I`m not a paver but I think stone setts would complement your building.

[London Stone Paving]

Stone sett's will look awesome against that old house. Get the impression there is a low budget for the project and decent stone setts to complement that property will not come cheap

[DNgroundworks]

I to agree that setts or maybe a yorkstone/setts combo like the one cookie and haggi did (there was pics posted on this site somewhere) will look awesome and as haggs said divided by 12 it will be easier to justify?
