Patio / Driveway options - Ideas please!

Fatenbread

I'm getting close to having finished refurbishing my 1920's semi. As I have finished the main bits, the little niggly bits I haven't done are starting to annoy me.

I have a crazy paved patio in the back garden with a (very damaged) path of the same material up the lawn. I want to keep this as a patio / outdoor space. It's about 20 sq m.

I also have a crazy-paved front yard with an extremely knackered red tarmac drive. The yard is on a slight slope (going downhill from the door to the road). The yard is about 50 sq m, and I'd ideally like to use it to park a second car on.

What I'm looking for are some ideas of how to smarten up these areas at a low cost (ideally under £1,000 for the patio and under £2,000 for the drive). If you can give me a rough idea of what your ideas are likley to cost, all the better (I obviously won't hold you to these quotes!). Extra points for options that won't involve the labour and hardcore removal required to lift the existing surfaces...

thanks!
