Hi all
Amateur potterer and have done a few ground work bits around the property, concrete base for shed etc.
I want to lay a semi circle patio of about 3m radius onto reasonably level grass, I have seen some kits for slabs but none big enough. Would I be able to do this in block and would it be within my skill set?
I may get some quotes also and am busily reading all the fantastic advice on here.
Many thanks, all advice appreciated

With the information available on this site it should be within your capabilities though it is one of the more demanding tasks.
Don't lay them on grass.
Try Londonstone for circles.

Thanks, I didn't intend to lay them on grass just thats the surface at the minute!
Link only has circles which I have seen in several places, half circles are less common and too small the ones I've found

maybe you could get your neighbour to buy the other half, Offer it half price.

As it happens, today I completed a 3.5m radius semi circular patio using Tobermore Tegular sets. I’ll take some pics of it tomorrow, and if LLL is kind enough to post them on this thread on my behalf you can have a look and see if you think it would be within your skill set.
I didn’t find it brain teasing, but I am a northern blockpaving monkey !

some suppliers may have broken or damaged circles in stock. some fork lift drivers can do great damage

Wow,a fantastic job Ken, nice one and thanks for the photos. Alas I think this would be beyond me, anyone like to estimate a ballpark figure I could expect to pay for a standalone semi circle of about 7m diameter in Sheffield, works out at about 20 square metres I think?

Martyn.
Try Westminster Stone for circle kits, various colours and patterns in their reproduction paving up approx 3.2 m radius.
Think they would be flexible to supply just one half of the circle too.
