I need to redo my drive which is about 25 years old and is tarmac.
Cost wise i guess chipped slate will be cheaper than paving blocks. Are there any negatives to using the slate on a maintenance side? I'm put off by block paving as some of the houses in the street have them and they are full of weeds and have sunk in places. also they seem a bit 1990's!
Im thinking of 40mm blue chipped slate - http://www.stonetohome.com/gbu0-prodshow/Blue+Slate+40mm+Decorative+Garden+Aggregate.html
