★★★★★

"We swapped a shabby concrete forecourt for a proper block paved driveway with a charcoal herringbone centre and a buff soldier course around the edge. The crew excavated right down to firm ground, laid a deep Type 1 sub-base and took real care screeding the sand so every block sits true. Drainage channels run neatly to the soakaway at the back, and a matching run of blocks leads up to the side gate. Weeks on the neighbours are still stopping to admire it."
