l have dug out for a driveway and this will be 20x20 ft and 4" deep ,l have put hardcore down but having never done a driveway before would like some advice on what to do before it gets concrete put down. Is there any web sites that will give info about doing a driveway and roughly how much ready mix would l need. Is it done by the cubic metre and how much roughly would it cost and best place to get the ready mix.. Thanks

Your drive weighs in at a little over 3.7 M3 . It would be wise to have an expansion joint up the centre.

ok that's fine. Now could you please explain how l go about this and the frame work ready for concrete.


Also roughly how much would 3.7M ready mix cost.

It would be wise to put some A142 mesh in it too, 35mm down from the top, as anti-crack. Use RC35 designated mix; part load will prob cost in the order of £90/m³.
