DrivewayExpert was formed to offer a unique reference point on creating or replacing a driveway or patio.
Hardly unique now is it, only has 5% of the info on here and no brew cabin haha 5% was generous just read the entire site in under 30 mins.
Site is more unto date but is swamped in adverts and copy and pasted case studies from other journals etc
This says a lot also about their actual hands on experience

And the guy who is named as the author knows nothing about paving as he made his money in computing

i hear ye
like i say this is a very personal site
i would hate it if it was run by a PLC or conglomerate
we can more or less speak our minds here
can you imagine any of the BIG BMs or manufacturers allowing that?

don't see the need to visit other sites when this is the creme de creme. How modern do you want it, as paving expert is continually updated by our gaffer tony?. The site suits both the pro and diyer alike, has in depth knowledge of all aspects of paving etc: it's a one size fits all. I like it, it's like going to work and having the craic.

No doubt the info is massive, its just the way it all looks, i dismissed this site the first times i came across it as an old site that had been abandoned due to the way it looked so dated and that must have been five years ago at least..
Feels like vera duckworths living room
