Rough quote for new driveway
Comments

I decided to ask him - he said the soakaway needs to be 5m from the house and he thinks we have the space for it. (The drive way will be 5m deep and there’s a few m of patio in between it and the house.. so is that enough?)
Will be 100-150mm MOT Type 1 compacted with membrane underneath and he says everything will stay solid long term.
Retaining wall will be built off a concrete footing, using block 6 inch laid flat, backfield with drainage behind to take pressure off.
they’ll build in stages, bench it, pour footings, build up and back fill so it’s always supported0
