So at the moment we have a tarmac driveway that is cracking and is in a general state of disrepair.
It slopes down about 8m from the road to the house (reasonably steep but nothing crazy) and then sweeps off to the side, sloping a bit more for about 18m.
There is drainage in front of the house so we have no issues with that.
Am a bit stuck on what to do, I'd love to remove the tarmac and put paving stones down but from what I understand that would be £50-100/m2 ( and we have approx. 120m2!)?
So I was wondering if I could lay angular granite stones over the tarmac, or will that need to be removed (on this site I read not to lay 'solid over solid'), also will the slope cause a problem even with angular stones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
