For a number of years now we have wanted to replace our driveway, however we decided to wait until the garage conversion was complete, or at least sufficiently complete that no more digging on the drive was expected.<\/p>\n

We contracted Mick Judge of Judge Paving<\/a> to perform the work for us, having previously used him to build the concrete base of our pre-fabricated garage build a number of years back.<\/p>\n

Wednesday 31st August<\/h3>\n

Work started and initially involved ripping up the old crazy-paving slabs.<\/p>\n
