Paving help for bin store - First-time paver diy help please

[Fizzleton]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and came across it during my paving research. I have a piece of land that I would like to create a small paved area, possibly with patio flags if suitable.

I am new to this kind of DIY project and any help/knowledge would be appreciated and gratefully received.

I will attach photos. There is a shed and wood store present already which I will be removing. I would then like to lay some sort of paving that will house a new shed and a wheeley-bin store with a small path to the tarmac drive.

The land is on a slight gradient. My question - is this project doable for a paving novice? Are there any limitations I should be aware of. How would people tackle this project?

I'm thinking excavate topsoil to the required depth and then sub-level so it's level? How would I link the path to the drive if I level it all off, I.e the edge if the patio once lay closest to drive will be a higher level than the drive itself. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for any help/knowledge.

Fairly simple project, if you follow the advice on the main website and take your time.

As it's only for a bin stiore, I'd suggest using salvaged concrete flags, no bigger than 450x450mm, a sthey are easier for a novice to lay. Many FreeCycle sites offer just such flags for nowt if you'll take them away and save the expense of a skip. Folk take up old paving to be replaced with new and need somewhere to offload the old flags....check your local site.
