There is now a wide range of choice when it comes to choosing crazy pavers, with both purpose made and recycled varieties available. Although purpose made crazy pavers can provide a great finish, for those who are looking for a great-value and environmentally friendly option, recycled pavers and stones are the best option.</p><p><a href="https://www.blockpavinganddriveways.co.uk/crazy-paving/" target="_blank"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314766267?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></a></p><p>When it comes to finding crazy pavers, there are a number of options available. Below are a few places you can use to source crazy pavers for your project.</p><p>Waste & Recycling Centres<br/>From our experience in the skip industry, there is no shortage of used pavers being thrown away throughout Britain. Pavers are generally thrown away when they are either being replaced or are broken, which makes them perfect for crazy paving. Skip firms and waste centres are always looking to reduce the waste they send to landfill, so contact your local centres to find out if they have any pavers you can pick up, either for free (or extremely cheap).</p><p>Garden Centres<br/>Garden centres regularly receive pallets of pavers that are broken on delivery, or break during movement within the centre. It is often cheaper to simply send a replacement pallet, rather then collect the broken pavers, so it is common for garden centres to sell the broken pavers as ‘crazy paving’. Call around a few local centres, and you are sure to find some in stock.</p><p>Paving Manufacturers<br/>Breakages are almost a certainty at a paving manufacturer. Rather than simply throwing away broken and deformed pavers that could make great crazy paving supplies, they often sell them to the public at cheap prices. There are a number of large manufacturers throughout the UK, many of which have local showrooms where you can buy broken pavers.</p><p>Paving Installers<br/>A great source for crazy paving supplies are professional pavers. Even if they do not have any suitable pavers available, they are almost certainly some of the best people to talk to. Similar to garden centres, they may have a delivery of pavers that are cracked, or an excess of pavers that they no longer need and will sell for a cheaper price.</p></div>Hiring a Skip for your Driveway Installationhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/hiring-a-skip-for-your-driveway-installation2016-06-14T07:12:15.000Z2016-06-14T07:12:15.000ZChris Kervinhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/ChrisKervin<div><p>One of the most common uses for skip hire is driveway work. Almost all driveway installations cause a considerable amount of waste, whether it be a new driveway, or replacing an old driveway. Hiring a skip for your drive and path removal waste can be an affordable and convenient waste removal solution.</p><p><a href="https://www.blockpavinganddriveways.co.uk/block-paving/" target="_blank"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314771713?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" alt="Driveway with Block Paving" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p><p>Most of the waste collected, if not all, is recycled, which makes skip hire a very environmentally friendly waste disposal solution. Whether you are replacing your drive, and need to throw away gravel, tarmac, block paving or concrete, there are a range of different skip sizes available to take your waste.</p><p>When hiring a skip for a driveway installation, it is important to remember that you will not be able to place the skip on your drive. If you do not have suitable room on your property for the skip, it will need to be placed on council land, such as the road outside your house. When a hired skip is placed on council land, you will require a council skip permit (also commonly referred to as a skip licence). The cost of a skip permit can vary between councils, with some costing as little as £15, whilst others charge in excess of £60.</p><p>To ensure you receive a great deal on your skip hire, we always recommend that you request at least 3 quotes for a comparable sized skip. This will give you a better understanding of the prices of skips in your area. When choosing a skip hire provider, always ensure that they are licenced to carry waste, and carry public liability insurance.</p><p>For more information on skip hire for driveway installations and renovations, please do not hesitate to get in touch, request a quote or visit our website, which is packed full of helpful guides, tips and consumer advice.</p></div>How to save money on your waste disposal?https://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-save-money-on-your-waste-disposal2016-05-25T18:13:10.000Z2016-05-25T18:13:10.000ZChris Kervinhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/ChrisKervin<div><p>Most landscaping and garden related jobs will produce waste in some form or another, and larger jobs may require a waste disposal solution. There are a number of options available, but whatever you choose, it is important that you get a great value deal.</p><p><a href="https://www.skiphire.services/cheap-skip-hire/" target="_blank"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314750226?profile=original" width="600" class="align-center"/></a></p><p>A great way to ensure that you are not paying more than you need to begins by ensuring you choose the best option for your waste. If you are only producing relatively small amounts of waste, you can consider a waste bag, or may be able to take the waste away yourself in a van or trailer. For jobs that produce larger amounts of waste, or that take place over several weeks, a skip may be a more suitable option.</p><p>Experts always advise consumers to request multiple quotes before deciding on a service provider. This couldn’t be more true in the waste industry, where it is important to compare like for like services from numerous providers. This will give you a better understanding of the going rates in your area, and you can use the lowest quote to negotiate a better deal with your preferred waste removal provider.</p><p>Disposing of waste can increase your costs and eat into your profits, so it is vital that you save money on your rubbish disposal. One of the best ways to save money is by reducing the amount of waste you need to throw away. In many circumstances, waste can be recycled, donated and even sold to third parties. This will reduce the amount of waste you have, and consequently reduce your disposal costs.</p><p>Saving money on your waste disposal can be extremely simple, and will save you a significant amount of money. If you choose a cheap skip provider or rubbish removal team, always ensure they are insured and have a waste carriers licence.</p></div>Skip Hire Guidehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/skip-hire-guide2016-04-20T08:39:05.000Z2016-04-20T08:39:05.000ZChris Kervinhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/ChrisKervin<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314800466?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Skip hire is a practical and handy waste disposal solution for many landscaping and gardening projects. A skip allows waste to be quickly disposed of as it is created, and they are available in a range of sizes to suit any job. Skips are not just for professionals, and are often hired by DIY enthusiasts for a range of home improvements, including garden clearances.</p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">How much does skip hire cost?</span></p>
<p>Skip hire is a convenient and often cost effective waste disposal service. Prices do vary between locations, but generally smaller skips will start at under £100. If you are on an extremely tight budget, a skip bag may be the best solution, as they are the cheapest skips available. Upgrading to the next skip size will generally cost between £20-30, and hold an additional 10-20 black bin bags of waste. </p>
<p>In order to keep costs as low as possible, it is important that you choose the correct skip size for your waste. It is cheaper to hire 1 larger skip than 2 smaller skips, so ensure that your skip will be big enough to carry your unwanted waste.</p>

<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">What skip size do I need?</span></p>
<p>Skips are available in a range of different sizes, making them a great choice for almost any gardening job. If you will only be creating a small amount of waste, you can opt for a mini skip or skip bags. These are the cheapest skip options, and make rubbish disposal easy.</p>
<p>If you are undertaking a larger job, you may want to consider a builders skip. These skips are normally available in 6-8 yard capacities, and can hold a considerable amount of waste. </p>
<p>For industrial sized jobs, you will need a roll-on roll-off skip. These skips are available in extremely large sizes, often up to 40-yards, and can hold a considerable amount of waste.</p>
<p>Below is a helpful guide indicating the common skip sizes and their approximate capacities.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-4">Will I need a permit?</span></p>
<p>If you will be placing a skip on council land, you will normally require a permit. However, if you can place the skip on privately owned land, a skip hire permit will not be required. Skip hire permits are issued by the council, and prices do vary for different locations. In most cases, your skip hire provider will be able to arrange your permit for you, if needed.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">What can I throw into a skip?</span></p>
<p>Skip hire is popular for garden clearances and landscaping projects as almost all waste generated can be thrown into a skip. Waste including organic material, domestic waste, soil, furniture, metal, wood, plastics, rubble, etc. can all be put into a skip. There are a few restrictions on what can and can't be placed into a skip, with items such as asbestos, hazardous materials (including explosives), solvents, electronics and tyres not allowed.</p>
