so effectively 2 days for 3 men
the patio looks better than i could do bar one weird yellow flag to the left of the arched step
it looks like a 900 by 600 with 2 small cuts on top of it?
also on the 13th radius of the circle 9which looks the mutts if i may say there is what looks like a 35mm cut
I took them back to the yard to paint the Iron gates you see in the other photos I don't like knocking off too early except on Fridays. The flag you see isn't a cut it's a lovely bit of well grained stone it just hasn't come out well on the photo and that cut on the circle was needed because it was the last of the course you don't see it in the bigger scheme of things.
The retaining blocks are Tobermore Secura Minor and Secura Coping and the planter is a New product called Garden Stone by the same company. Both are great products to work with as is most of their stuff. I like Tobermore products they offer a good balance of quality vs cost and are very customer friendly. You can get better products off other companies but you'll pay a lot more for them. Acheson & Glover also offer good price and quality but they are a nightmare to deal with you never get someone on the phone who can take your order and they ask you to call back or forget to call you back very sloppy.

these are not entirely Recent I have done quite a few paving and landscaping displays for a well known BM throughout NI. Completed these 3 at various stages over the course of this thread but wasn't able to post cos I'm a numpty. The displays consist mainly of Marshalls/ Tobermore and Kilsaran paving and Finforest timber. Everything was done by our fair hands no subbies used. A couple of them must hold the record for the numer of cuts on a single job LOL

They're the best adverts I have and generate a lot of work for us along with several others I've done. I do the odd free design day there to which can lead to some good full garden builds.

The merchants are Ireland wide and owned by Saint Gobain they have very well laid out yards and plenty of room.
Did these two in April the sandstone circle has calmed down and is a good match now.

I totally agree cookie but it's what the client wanted I'd quoted for trimming it with either Tegula or rose granite setts. I don't like the way they spoil the pattern and tbh they aren't any quicker or easier to lay.
