The customer requested a double skinned wall of red engineering bricks with one course of blue bricks near the base topped with solid blue engineering bricks with piers.
The driveway originally consisted of old damaged concrete and slabs. This was broken up and removed; the driveway excavated to a depth of 200mm, sub-base hardcore laid and compacted; concrete charcoal blocks were then laid on a stiff concrete mix to form the outer layer then more hardcore was added to bring up the levels and compacted.
Concrete edgings were then laid between the path and the driveway to give a neat finish.
Sharp sand was then added, screeded off and tamped to allow for the brindle concrete blocks to be laid and cut as necessary. The blocks were then compacted before finer block paving sand was added and compacted in-between the block joints.
A further course of charcoal blocks were laid around the garden.
To finish off the tarmac on the road was cut back and new tarmac was laid to give a neat and level finish with the path.
