I am currently in dispute with my builder who has laid our tarmac drive but doesn't seem to conform to the basic measurements I have seen on other websites. The hardcore is no more than 2 inches and the first layer of tarmac is about the same pending the final layer of about an inch to complete the job. Are these layers acceptable and reasonable? The drive has been layed on bare earth.

Thanks thats all very helpful but I dont really want tarmac or shingle I have remeasured at 700 sq m can I get block paviour at say £25 psm total budget £17,500

hiring somebody to do my driveway and i was told digging can be done in half a day

我的驱动器块在2008年由专业块铺路公司东北，花费3500英镑。除了洪水和现在在不同地区的下沉和积水，什么问题都没有。在过去的几年里，它已经被取消并传递了6次。去年，它开始在主车道的各个区域下沉，也在通往前门的道路上下沉，虽然不是很严重，但足以在降雨后留下积水。和建筑商谈过，他说他会在去年9月给我回复，因为他看了照片，但没有联系。我今年9月再次追求这个问题,构建器出来后他说他会回来下雨时为自己看到他还指责我给它拍摄的照片时考虑软管已经下雨,开车时开车在我的像一个迷你过山车,也即使他从未去过或联系我的信后我发送最后一个字母的行动。他还说，这是因为它是一个如此平坦的地区和其他各种各样的借口。我觉得唯一的行动就是把这件事告上法庭。这段时间过后，驱动器是否会下沉?任何建议将不胜感激。

Hi I have had two companies call to today to give an estimate to take up and renew a driveway (to take three cars) approx 77 sq m. The first said fitting slabs was not a problem as long as the base was well done, the second was adamant that fitting slabs was not possible and that it must be pavers or expensive cobbles, I must add the second was an approved installer for the paver company. Who is right please?
Thanks

i have an existing blocked paved drive that has sunk in parts, i want that drive taken up & a new blocked paved drive put in (cars go on it) - some of the companies that have quoted say i need a concrete base, others say i don't? there is a massive difference in the quotes because of this? i don't want to go with the cheaper quotes if the drive doesn't last, but don't want to go with the expensive quotes if i don't need a concrete base?

Builder laid patio, without hardcore on clay. Convinced me I didn't need it. Second time it was laid in six months, same guy. Any ideas.
