the company was registered in 2008 but they don't show up at google as having a website
he must be a better man than me to be able to do a top notch block paving job on a domestic driveway for £35 m2 ......that's less than cost

speaking of rugby, just got 300 tons of the nicest sandy top soil going, our friend runs a sports pitch company does twickenham etc and just been on edgley park, sale sharks ground doing drains and sand trenching so its all been trenched up. its better than the 5mm screened stuff i pay £30 a ton for, needed a place to tip it and our rugby club is only 2 miles down the road. been piling it up today as fast as the 20 ton wagons could bring it in, ended up with a pile about 50 ft high was getting fun climbing up it in old girl 3cx.
