driveway kerb dropping is a council job

make sure you have it registered otherwise they can give you fines

block paving does look nice, but it also costs and needs maintenance

don't do tarmac, it melts in the heat of the summer and you will get lovely tread marks in it

tiles are ok but still pricey and need looking after, and if you don't get rough ones then when it rains or ices over they become very very slippery

concrete ftw, and you can paint it whatever colour you like

it also has the benifit of being able to withstand the effects of a trolley jack in case you need to work ont eh car and you won't get stuck in ruts when you need to push shit in and out the drive
