New British standard for paving Instalation

Hello everyone. 
my name is David strows and 
I just thought I'd mention the new bs 7533-102.

Some of you may know what it is and some may not. 
there is a bit of confusion in general as to what it does so I will give a brief Ive review. 

the proposed standard is a paving installation guide. 
within the standard is a clause called clause 4. 
this clause deals specifically with domestic paving categories which are deemed to be 3 down to 1.

this clause provides design and instalation advice where a design that is in line with bs7533-101 is not available.

it is the first time that a standard like this has been created and is incredibly easy to use  it will remove the grey areas and hopefully reduce the " opinion" based construction in  the industry.  It will also provide clear accurate advice for the installer and for the client . 
the APL are working closely with British standards to promote it to the industry and public. 
if you would like more advice regarding the standard which will hopefully be released around September, feel free to call the APL  

All the best

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"

"That's pretty much my thinking, but I am seeing them more and more. Mostly at expensive new builds. Mostly people with very limited gardening experience wanting an immediate finished product. "

"Yes 5' actual instant shaped hedging is very expensive, but if that's what he wants he'll have to pay for it.  A good compromise is use individual plants- you could use 1.5m, but 1.8 or 2m plants would probably be bushier, and by trimming to height…"

"Agree, nothing worse than driving past a new Cherry Laurel hedge planted too close to boundaries or buildings, and thinking they'll regret that decision in a few years time!
If a client really wants Laurel, i atleast try to push them towards the…"

Neil Darby replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging
"Laurel is the worst plant ever, cheap & nasty looking once cut. I try to put everyone off of it, but because it is cheap people go for it & then regret having to get it clipped 3 times a year or more.
Anyway as for a trough of 5ft plants, I don't…"
