I am about to commence laying about 60m2 of block paving for a driveway, the area is prepared, but do I start at the kerb end of the drive or from the house
end ?

The driveway slopes away from the house and goes up
the side and infront of the property as well.

Great site by the way, particular encouraged by other DIY installations.

Start at the lowest end and work uphill - that way, the blocks can't slip away from the working edge.

On flat sites, we would normally start at the base line and work from that, but on a sloping site, the base line, or a perpendicular, would be transferred to the bottom of the slope.

Always work from the paving that's just been laid, on not from the screeded bed.

Glad you like the site, and the DIY pics - send in some of your own and I'll upload them for you. :)
