Hi
I have taken a few pictures and posted them below.
I have started laying blocks on my driveway after digging out all soil down to clay and laying type 1 to a depth overall to at least 100mm, (thanks to the advice on this great site
I have layed approx 24 sq meters and although i like the appearance the blocks are not all at the same level. I have been laying about 3meters at a time and want to make sure before i go any further that they level out when they are compacted. Question is would it be wise to compact the area i have done now or wait until the rest are layed and compact the lot at the same time. I still have another 50 sq meters still to do and i dont' want to have to make any mistakes at this stage.
The compactor i have is a Bomag BP 18/45-2 which weighs 91kg if you look at the bottom of the first photo you will see the compacting pad i will be using when levelling the blocks.
