best driveway transformation
« on: December 10, 2010, 08:43:02 AM »
this has got nothing at all to do with the interweb but when you win something as prestigious as this you just have to climb onto the top of the highest building and shout it out loud

Marshall's are the largest manufacturing and importing company of paving products in the UK and are a household name

It was the North West Marshall's installer presentation last night and i won the award for the "best driveway transformation over £ 5,000" in the north west region

into the next round...... :)

Excellent.  Looks amazing.

Do you do work in NEW England?  ;)  I've got two driveways that need "transformation".

Though I wonder how that style would hold up to our snow/ice/cold.  Frost heaves are an issue.  It was 6 degrees Farenheit this morning.

We tend to do plain old boring asphalt around here.

Never thought I would pronounce a driveway beautiful, but that one is!

Really, really nice job, mick.  Congrats on the award.  (Too bad about that Land Rover piece of crap messing up the photos ...should have been a Series II 109 instead, IMHO.)

What thickness are those pavers?

>New England

Back off, jangro, I have first rights on the "mick knowledgebase" since Barcelona.

That driveway had to have cost a small fortune.

thanks everyone :)

>>>>thickness of paver's
50mm

>>>>I have first rights on the "mick knowledgebase" since Barcelona.
that was an awesome weekend RC, I could not begin to explain to you how much I enjoyed it

as for knowledge if you recall the conversation, I came away with the knowledge of the underground heating conversation which still has not caught on in the UK due to the 150 years it will take to break even on the cost :) well not quite 150 years but its just not cost effective to install it

and that meal in the restaurant on the Saturday evening was to die for......

>>>>driveway cost
just under £15,000
