Block paved drive approximately 45m2. We installed drainage along the front of the drive this time as the fall of the ground dictated. The customer chose a tegula block for this drive.

As you can see from the picture there is a large shrub in the middle the customer wished to retain this so we installed deep edging around the roots to protect the drive as it grows and put a boarder around it. In the future this could be filled.

This home originally had the paving completed using utility slabs. The customer told Block Paving Cambridge they had been wanting to get this work done for years. They selected this nice light coloured limestone. We finished it with small 100mm setts around the edges to hide any cuts in the stone. The paving continues right around the back of the house. The drive was also quite warn as had been down for 20 years or more. We gave the tarmac a fresh wearing course. That should be good for at least another 25 years.
The customers were delighted with the result.

Rear garden patio. This piece of work was to replace an existing patio which had been laid badly. The slabs lifted up easily as were just bedded on sand. We checked the base and improved where necessary. The slabs were replaced, this time laid on a solid mortar bed and pointed using a resin agent. The new patio should last a lifetime.
