Hi, First post and looking for some advise, We have just purchased a victorian house so no doubt going to have lots of questions over next few weeks,
My first project is going to be the drive way, Currently nothing is laid and you just approach the house driving onto grass / mud, I am intending to have a loose stone drive way and am expecting to need alot of stone, possibly complete lorry loads.
I wish to do the job myself so the questions are,
1) is there a guide weight of stones required per Mtr sq, estimated length with a turning circle is 80 meters, width undecided at moment.
2) What depth of stones should we be looking at ?
3) Once we have dug down into the soil ( depending on answer two ) should we be laying some kind of woven webbing / mesh to stop weed growth ? ( Any reccomended suppliers ? )
4) Should the edges be capped or just allow the stones to butt upto the grass ?
5) Any other advise points to consider would be appreciated
Thanks
