We're considering how to revamp our drive for not a lot of cash, it's currently tarmac one side and paving slabs the other, we know someone who could tarmac the whole drive and we were thinking of having something like a brick edge all the way round the drive.
Problem is the guy who would do the tarmac wouldn't get involved with the bricks so I'm wondering if its something I could do myself and get him to tarmac in the middle.
Would you concrete the bricks in place or bed them into sand?
What sort of brick would be best, or would block paving be better?
Worst problem for me would be having to dig up the old tarmac but I guess I could get the tarmac guy to lift the old layer then I could add the boarder and get him back to fill it in
