martin55 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Can I get some very approx estimates for this driveway? It's a 5m by 3m front garden with a drop of 80cm that I want converted into a less sloped concrete drive. Retaining wall will be needed with steps up to it. Existing side path removed. Rebar for reinforcement. Attached mockup. Thanks. Edited May 2 by martin55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrymartin Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Can't help with the cost, but just bear in mind (if you aren't already aware) that "impermeable materials over 5m² need Planning Permission: If your driveway is larger than five square meters and you use impermeable materials like traditional concrete, you'll need planning permission." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can avoid needing planning permission by ensuring any run off from impermeable surfaces is handled on site. Eg by draining towards flower beds or drains and soakaway.

Mr Punter Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 You might just about squeeze in your soakaway where the tonne bags are. Put in the crate type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
