Wow thanks so much for the fast replies. Really good info. Especially yours Carrerahill, i'm going to give it a lot of thought and spec up some plans / costings.

Hey all, i could really do with some advice on what to do with my driveway. It's been the same since i moved in a few years back, but not some of the bricks and cracks are starting to become a problem (The driveway wall, step outside my porch). As well as the front garden, I own all of the grass to the right of the picture (left of the house), which i would like to make into a driveway, perhaps tarmac it and then have some steps going up to the house. Maybe whilst still keeping some of the garden at the back. I have been quoted 10k to level off my driveway, create a retaining wall up to the house, take some bricks round to the side of my garage and, make some steps going up. As well as pave my driveway etc. I'm really just wondering what you guys would do if you were in my situation? Spend 10k redeveloping the driveway, or spend a few grand 'tidying it up'? Here's the pics: Appreciate any advice. Thanks, Rich
