First of all please excuse my lack of knowledge and technical terminology!
I recently had a company come to look at my 74yr old mums back yard which is block paved.
She was having lots of weeds coming through which she could no longer keep on top of so was considering having it all taken up.
I contacted this company who said there was no need and with sand and sealing it would give her another few yrs.
I specifically stated that it was the weeds that were the issue.
They quoted a price for the job and said it was a day and half work.
When they did the job it in fact took them a day...in fact probably 4 hrs of coming to and fro.
They jetwashed it in the morning, left it for 3hrs then came back with one bag of sand which they put down, left again and came back to spend 20 mins sealing.
3 weeks later my mum has prolific weed growth yet again.
I contacted the company who said he would come and put weed killer down, which a pointed out was the reason we had hired them to stop her having to do this.
He became very angry and basically put the phone down on me!
As I said, I am no expert but feel sure she shouldn't have weed growth after 3 weeks!
No idea what to do now?!
