Hello,
I have reading and learning from this site for many years (keep up the good work)
I have a slight dilema, I wish to remove front garden and relace with a vehicle surface of some type, I have been reading threads on diferences between Tarmac & Block Paving. I would like a rough idead in cost per square metre for the following:
Block paving (budget pavers supply only)
Tarmac (supply and install)
Resin bonded (supply only)
Area is approx 61 square metres and all edging and sub-base to be completed by me.
I have a non technical drawing but cant work out how to attach

I would be interested in your thoughts

Thanks

Mike

CBPs - 50-60 quid per m²
Blacktop - 20-30 quid per m²
RBA - 35-40 quid per m² + cost of substrate (20-30 quid per m²)

Thanks for that.
I have spent approx 3 hours reading information relating to resin bond, is it as easy as it looks. it seems to be as long as base is level/true then this poors in very wet almost like self leveling compund (not as easy)
