Wez Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hey All, Just wondering if anyone on here does driveways, mine needs sorting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Rob Sheffield has a mate who does them! Might be a bit out of the way though. I am having ours done in a couple of weeks. Going for the pattern imprinted concrete me thinks!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 watching this with interest as I need mine done very soon. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Mine needs doing at some point too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Tarmac or patterned concrete if fine for me. My drive has a large hump at the top that most cars not just sups rubs on, this needs leveling off and the back needs raising up about 6" and then all leveling out. I would also like the front lawn removed to make space for another car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 A little hint for people Dont park a Supra on a slope packed with scalpings, one wheel digs in and you dont go anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Lad i know does the imprinted concrete but he is based in Lancs. Ill give him a call midweek and see what he says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I need mine doing but I can't afford it and a drain needs raising to allow us to level it properly too so it might just stay as it is!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I did mine last year, 100 metres (using 100mm blocks) took me 4 weeks. Never again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Sorry, i only do the blockpaving. I am still interested, what sort of price and timescales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 What are the pro's and cons with different materials then? I am concerned with this pattern imprinted stuff, that it's permanent and if I ever need to get to the gas or water pipes then we'll be fubar.... Not sure about blocked but tarmac would look shite IMO!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Well, seeing as no one else has said so .... excelent pro job mate, i take it you have done it before. Shaun. Never before and never again. Used over 18 tonnes of type one for the base (all moved by barrow) Luckily, a mate lent me the latest Hilti laser stuff to get the levels and fall correct.Hardest job was cutting the edges, that took the best part of five days. Its not rocket science, just bloody hard graft (for an engineer!)Big respect for the guys that do it for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
