      24 hours later. Crazy paving was removed, soil dug out to a deeper level and base laid for patio and pathway. Then the sand screeded for the pathway to the gate.

            You must be thinking, JJ, that you're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel:snork:

                Service has been delayed due to the wet weather and valentines day (apparently landscapers don't work on that day).

                It's 80% finished and I'm really happy with it. They just need to add a few more slabs and point them. Then add a load of top soil to the beds and we are done.

                I would post some pictures but don't seem much point as it's nearly finished. Will post some tonight though.

                  All finished this afternoon. They even rendered part of the exposed brick work on the extension for me free of charge and gave me a massive pile of good quality top soil left over too. Best landscapers I have ever used. Cleared all the rubble away and left none behind whatsoever.

                  Love the riven stove they used and the french pointing they did too.

                          That's a cracking job JJ, so neat and tidy That's a lovely curve on the path and the landscapers have done it really nicely, they cut all those fiddly pavers perfectly.
