Two driveways for the price of one job (well, not literally, but you know what we mean). 👀
When one neighbour decides to go ahead with a new driveway, it turns out the one next door isn’t far behind. So we ended up doing both at once! 😄
The gardens were raised quite high, so there was a LOT of digging out. Our mini digger earned its keep on this one. Here’s what went in:
🔨 Light coloured block paving on both driveways
🔨 Solid compacted sub-base underneath, because the base is what makes a driveway last
🔨 Retaining walls on both properties, each rendered slightly differently, with neat coping on top
🔨 A patio area on top of each wall in different coloured slabs, with steps up to each
🔨 New kerbing and edging to keep everything locked in
🔨 A new dividing fence between the two
🔨 New drainage, as the existing pipe was too high for the new driveway level
🔨 Inspection covers neatly block-paved in, so they blend in instead of sticking out
Also, a quick shout out to the kiln sand. It’s not the glamorous bit, but it’s swept into every joint and it’s what keeps the blocks locked in place. 💪
