I have had two quotes for replacing my tired tarmac drive with rumbled block paving and extending it a bit to incorporate a paved area up to the front door.
The quotes are within 40 of each other.
One is proposing digging a soakaway for the boundary linear drain - with a linear drain along the side of the drive next to my house connecting into the surface water drain.
The other is proposing leading the linear boundary drain into an existing surface water inpection chamber - the drain alongside the house being treated the same as the first.
Also - one is proposing taking the blocks right up to the house. the other is proposing a narrow strip of gravel beween house and edging blocks.
Any observations?
