Hi,
I have almost finished digging out my driveway in preparation for laying 75 mm yorkstone setts bought from ebay at a good price.
My dilema is whether to gently slope my drive over the full 9 metres or to follow the previous shape which was 2 metres flat at the garage followed by 7 metres of a slightly steeper slope towards the road.
I couldn't find anything on the website about change of slope.
I plan to put a concreted soldier course up both sides.
How much harder is it to change the slope or would you advise the full 9 metres of the same slope.
I assume it is down to being able to accurately put the soldier course down accurately on both sides by gently changing the slope as required.
I assume I can just follow the advice given on the block paving for these 75 mm tumbled yorkstone blocks. I noticed the advice on spacing with the tile spacers. Do you leave them in before wacking.?
Great website which i used to lay indian sandstone flags in the past.
Hope you can help.
