This patio presented many problems in that the ground was frozen, the ground had to be dug out by hand due to digger being unable to access site; and access to the skips and materials were at the end of a long drive inaccessible to delivery or skip wagons.These problems were once again overcome with the customer delighted in the finished work.

All paving was laid on a compacted sub-base hardcore and wet sand and cement mix.
