hi
i am new to this lark, i have just done a lift and relay block paving job around a new garden room, my problem is that the existing blocks where a 3 colour herringbone patern with pink soldiers and grey edgings, but the 3 colour blocks have an 8-10mm top layer of decorative stone chips in a pinky colour, a more orangey colour, and a bluey purple (sounds horrendous but muck more subtle than it may seem).
i have relaid 90% of the old blocks but having gone from 42m to 45m i am around 150 blocks short and i have hit a brick wall trying to fing compatible blocks to finish.
the blocks are 60mm/100/200 and have the spacer bumps on the top right as you look at it, as opposed to top left making them not interlock.
having spoken to marshalls and brett with no joy i am beginning to struggle.
cheers for your help

it's not gonna be easy to find them,reclaim yards if you are very lucky but don't hold out much chance off that MSH :(

i am starting to think that way myself, paving had only been down 10 years or so, we will see, got to try before looking for other solutions.

I would of thought that even if you did find a supplier the new blocks are going to stand out like a sore thumb next to the blocks that have been installed for at least ten years!

good luck block hunting tho pal!
