brick done right doesnt sink, expensive to do properly, but looks best and can add custom design | |

Have you got a pic of a monoblocked drive? Sounds good. | |

monoblocked drive done properly looks by far the best but is most expensive. Done properly it wont sink, i would also use 75mm blocks rather than 50mm even though more expensive will be a far better job | |

imo dont do it your slef (kerb) as if its dosen't meet council satisfaction you will then have to pay to have it done properly and if any one trips over becasue of un even pathway they will probaboy try to sue you so in the long run paying to have it done properly would work out cheper. | |

My council want £3500 to lower our curb and tarmac over a section about 8x4 foot robbing cunts, my whole blockpaved drive cost less than 2 grand and that is with marshalls tegula paving which isnt cheap!! | |

Most people seem to round here Dan, but really cannot be arsed with any hassle of the County Council. Much easier to have it done properly :) | |

Think concrete with a brick border might be the best compromise between looks and durability? | |

Concrete is the most durable, and most expensive, and pretty ugly. | |

We have a brick driveway, and as Kolingingus says, the brick do indeed sink and need re bedding. | |

Id tar it tbh, probably most durable, bricks sink, stones scatter & concrete splits. | |

I'm getting sick of not being able to park near my house, so the plan is now to build a driveway on the front of my house. I've got the forms from the County Council for kerb dropping. But, what to use to build the drive itself? |
