We are in the very early stages of considering our new driveway. So early infact that we haven't even measured up yet. I had always fancied a nice tarmac drive, but are very much open to suggestions.

We are now considering block paving and possibly doing it ourselves. How hard is it to do a proper good job? What sort of money does it cost to have a block driveway done? Is block even a good idea?

It will be dead straight and stretch about 3/4 the length of our entire plot. I'd say it'll be about 25-30 metres long and be around 2.5 metres wide, maybe even 3.0 metres?

How about getting the kerb dropped? Is this a pants-down scenario?
