Kerb line is sublime Pablo. Nice granite step as well, shame about the defect. Thats the thing with bespoke stone. any defects or chips are very noticeable and people are not so tolerant towards dinks when they've just spent £900 on a granite step.
£900 though, jeez. Someones done very well out of that deal. With the right kit there's an absolute maximum of 3 hours work making that step.

Its all on the company who supplied the stone. When people are paying big bucks they expect the best and rightly so. Its down to the stone masons in the yard to select the right piece of stone and cut and fabricate it perfectly. It then needs to be well packaged and stored safely. You then need to load it on to the truck carefully without bumping into anything. Last but not least you need a good driver to get it to site and unloaded it safely. Plenty of opportunity for damage.

btw spoke to a lad yesterday and some of the travelling community did his neighbours drive
he asked for white spar chippings,they said no problem
it was only a day later (after they were paid in cash of course) he realised they had smashed up polo mints and scattered them on the new tarmac,and rolled them in
the lad that told me this swore on his life they did it
LLL
have heard that one too tony. along with draining the whole drive into the air bricks of the house! :p

For us, tarmac. Quick and easy to lay (to an extent)
Trafficable the next day, that is a big plus point in loading yard situations etc

Is that a Terex digger Dave what are they like. Tarmac is much cheaper than concrete if you're using a reinforcing mesh if you're not then it's about the same over here Steve.

You read my mind Dave.
We rent out storage space in a garden centre and the concrete is breaking up in many places. Thinking about maybe patching up with tarmac. How thick would it need to be to take 5 forklift trucks going over it for 10 hours per day?

80mm road base and 30mm 10mm SMA 50pen is the spec we use at the local paper mill for forklift trafficked areas.

That small cream coloured digger isn't ours, it's some old antique.
