[benanderson89]

Get a shovel, and some self leveling concrete and DIY

Instructions unclear; now have a concrete shovel for putting up Ikea shelving.

Lel... If we're gonna bring work style jokes into this, would you like a high level and a low level plan for your shopping list ;)?

I just pulled a number out of my backside. I haven't even begun to look up anything regarding the driveway.
It does desperately need doing, though. It's one of those 70s/80s style drives with two rows of concrete slabs. As expected, weeds have grown between them and the slabs are cracked, wonky, or both.

Actual picture of said drive from Streetview. The garage has actually been rebuilt since this picture was taken.

It's a bloody long driveway, too! So it'll probably cost me both legs and a kidney.

literally the smallest drive i've ever seen yeah that'd be a grand or 2 for poured concrete (cheapest option)

Then don't come to the north east, then. That's pretty decent for a single-car drive up here!

pull up those slabs and just get a giant bag of gravel from your local landscape store for £100-200 and bobs your uncle

The fact that you'd be able to put two hatchbacks back to back makes it longer than average for the country. We can't all live in six beds in Buckinghamshire.

Can't think of anything worse, to be honest! I'd rather pay someone to tarmac over it. I'd be forever picking gravel out of the tyres.

He's only talking about Sunderland. Some parts of the North East are OK.

not so sure.... never met a geordie yet i can actually understand

You could at least do all the prep work to get the costs down.

Don't gravel your drive, you'll lose every nut and bolt you drop, you won't be able to do anything to your car without destroying your knees and the gravel will end up spread half way up the street.

Interesting, I got the same 'autostyle' pressed plates from ukmetalplates.com I guess they just have a number of domains for SEO purposes.
