  What do you reckon about 15 meter squared?

  if you are going to use a screed then it needs to be a course or sharp grit sand rather than building sand, building sand should only be used only for laying bricks or pointing brickwork but never for concreting or laying a screed

   

  I agree with Paul on the rest of his method and the use of SBR

  I think you need to broaden your question CJ - as far as your options are concerned, there's a potential list as long as your arm.

   

  Have you discussed this with your client...budget would be a starting point.

  hi folks

  Thanks for replies, yes its a bit of a budget job but obviously as attractive as can be done on a buget,

  it's for a house that will be let out.

  Its a standard concrete path, edges are rough shape but rest is pretty sound.

  Ive attached a pic if that helps.

   

  Cheers

  Could be right, since its going to be rented out anyway, but ill definately have to get the driveway scraped and re-graveled ideally useing Ecogrid but again more expense.

  If they want a cheep job why not just gravel over the top of the drive.

   

  The path just look s mainly dirty to me, not too much damage. if there are certain areas that are bad why not just patch them, using a disc cutter cout out a square/rectangle to a to a depth of about 3" then concrete it.
