Cheapest way

to do a driveway?

It's 6m squared, and was wondering which was the less expensive way , chippings, tarmac or block paving ?

I'm thinking it's chippings .

  • You cannot drive on chippings very well! Its whats underneath that counts-Also you need planning permission now,Because of drainage.

    you could do chipping with a run of paving slabs for the car wheels. This would also get around the need for planning permission as it would be permeable.

    cheapest way is to look out for anyone giving away paving slabs. (free to collector).
    my FIL got his drive done for nowt. one of his SIL gave him approx 20m sq. of slabs.
    Get some gorm.
