Driveway

We started the block paved driveway last weekend and managed to get it finished today after a few hard days work. We're really pleased with it and it was worth all the hard work.

The following pictures show how things progressed each day.

Day 1 - Saturday

The pavers had been delivered ealier in the week.



We hired a bobcat to remove the unwanted soil and rubble.





Day 2 - Sunday

We managed to finish removing the soil to the correct level ready for the roadbase.



Day 3 - Monday

We laid some weed fabric to prevent unwanted weeds growing through the pavers.



The roadbase was delivered.



This was then spread and screeded to the correct level.



Day 4 - Tuesday

Once the roadbase had been screeded it was compressed with a compactor plate. The river sand was then delivered.





This was then screeded ready for the blocks to be laid.



The blocks then began to be laid.



Day 5 - Wednesday





Managed to get the main part of the driveway finished on Christmas Eve.



Day 6 - Thursday (Christmas Day)

Day off :0)

Day 7 - Friday (Boxing Day)

We began to cement in the borders and cut the blocks for the curve of the driveway.



Day 8 -Saturday

We made a start on the path at the side of the house.





The roadbase was put down and compacted.



Day 9 - Sunday



The blocks were layed on river sand and washed sand was brushed into the gaps of the pavers.



Here it is finished off.
