This job was to replace an old 1970's crazy paving concrete slab patio with a new Indian Sandstone one. The old paving was removed and disposed of. The new lower patio area was built up with a crushed limestone base. The brick pavior edging was installed along with the Indian Sandstone paving in a random pattern. A new timber arbour was also constructed and new trellis installed to disguise the existing panel fencing. The old brick wall was also rendered to improve the appearance.

Nice Job, Darren.

Hope the weather was as good to you whilst doing the job, as it looks there now.

The paving colour was Harvest and the pavors are a Marshalls one but I can't remember which one exactly.

Not really, we laid the paving first, scribed it to the wall below and then ran the cutter around the edge before laying the edging.

Here's a photo to show you just after we'd cut it.

Looks really nice wet! They should seal it to give a similar effect when dry.
