It's pretty time consuming to lay Vs something like a block paver but it's much longer lasting. I'll as some of the landscapers we deal with and give you a rough ball-park to help you gauge it.

Having asked around (and this does depend heavily on what region you live in as costs of everything very by region) I think anywhere from £240 to £350m2+VAT (given good access) is a good guide price (including materials) for a driveway build with stone setts like this. The base should be minimum 200mm Compressed Type 1 but preferably concrete if you want good longevity and this sort of base construction and prep costs a fair bit. Obviously there are a lot of variables like top surface material, pointing material, access for machines etc... but hopefully this gives you an idea!

@@foreststoneuk Thank you very much. That has been very helpful. Had a quote in the midlands for £200/sqm including materials. Will probably go with that having heard the other quotes. Cheers

it's looking a lot more lush now the plants have grown up a bit. Stay tuned for a follow up vid soon!

Yeah I agree - too much grey is not good. Nice to add some pops of colour here and there!

these plants were very young. After a year of growth the beds look a lot fuller. We are going to do a follow up vid soon to show off how it's looking now!

@@foreststoneuk That's a great idea 😊

Yeah minimum 200mm compacted type 1 but it does depend on the ground. On something like clay you probably want concrete instead with expansion joins when needed. Also is good to bear in mind the weight of the vehicles and how many of them will be using the drive. More vehicles and more weight would need a stronger base that is potentially thicker or with re-enforcing mesh etc... Cheers!

Sharp Sand with cement is the best bedding mix for natural stone paving. More strength and structure to it. These days it's advisable to prime the backs of the slabs with a priming slurry too. Take a look at our website when the time comes for you to renovate your garden - you can easily order samples etc... Cheers!

Yeah same theory could be applied to any paving material really as long as it was suitable for use as your top surface and you used a grout that would also hold up for use on a drive. Cheers.

Cheers dude. Appreciate your support always man and you know we'll keep on keeping on!

If it's neat product onto grass it will kill it for sure. If it's pretty watered down it might not harm it much really.

Thanks for your support always Short!! You know we love this one. Two dreamy stones and a great design - was always going to be a banger. Props to the chaps @smithandgorman 🥰

Cheers dude. Yeah I love bloody love that Smith and Gorman job. Big love ❤️

cheers Jonboy - happy new year to you! All the best for 2024 mate 🙌

Cheers for the support as always Short! More to come on this beauty - some very interesting stone details going into this one

Cheers Short. There's a reason the bench looks lovely though.... you made it 😆

thank you 🥰

cheers for the support johnnyboy - big love!

Thanks a lot for the support johnnyboy!

cheers as always Johnnyboy ✊

I thought so too bro. IDK - Sentre 🙌

cheers JonBoy - appreciate it!

cheers Johnny boy!

Hey Johnnyboy - let me know what part of the video you're referring to and I'll be able to tell you what grout was used on the project hopefully!

cheers matey - lovely stone this one!

Flowpoint Smooth Charcoal - very strong and rated for highway style traffic if necessary!

🥰

sounds bizarre!! Not normal that. It might be possible they started off as one tile and the factory have cut them thinner. This happens in the cheaper factories if they want to create a 1200x300 but only have a 1200x600 mould. So they make the 12x6 and cut it in half after production.

Sorry if it wasn't clear - we used 'Builders Clean' from Lithofin - hope this helps!

cheers dude - been re-listening to that whole album lately!

cheers man 🥰
