We've currenty got a single width, two car length bitmac driveway. We want to double the width of this driveway and the space which the drive would be extended over is currently turfed.
We currently like the resin bonded aggregate coverings you can get now as it's aesthetically pleasing and everyone else seems to have gone for block paving, which we aren't really into.
What would be the best option for doubling the driveway size? I've read the gen in the main site and you need to have a monolithic base for the resin based covering to sit on top of. But if we get a concrete "slab" put down in place of the turf, this would then be essentially a two piece monolith, or rather, a bi-lith consisting of the old bitmac drive and the concreted area.
What would be the most appropriate method to lay this kind of drive in this scenario? I'd like to be prepared before I get any quotes so I can hopefully spot any cowboys before their spurs damage anything.
Thanks.
