My block paving driveway is on a slope. The lower end sunk long ago so the rainwater collects in a big puddle. I am (finally) lifting and shifting the blocks and sand bed with the intention of adding and compressing more material to raise the level, and put them back. I was expecting to find type 1 under there but the sand layer was essentially put straight onto an uneven concrete base. So my question is what material can I use straight onto concrete to compress down and raise this driveway level? At its worse it needs a good few inches. Some have suggested gravel / much smaller stones than MOT type 1 because that will compress better against the already hard concrete. Then sand compressed, then blocks tampered finally back. Any other suggestions?

Hi, We're tempted to sign for a plot of land 450m2 but it's very steep and rocky. Plot one. How much should we budget for a retaining wall? What options are available to us? Has anyone got personal experience of this? Do you have any advice or tips? Thanks for your time.

I'm acutely aware that I'm at risk of boring the forum to death over my flat roof dormer detail BUT..... Another question. Are rear sloping flat roofs now considered bad practice? I.e the fall is back towards the roof slates and the water drains onto the slates. We have exactly that design on our flat roof dormers on the garage but something makes me think it's not exactly best practice. Ive Googled the subject to death and can find so little detail! ...I'll get me coat!
