Do
200mm type 1, 20mm sand, 14mm gravel
I know other contractors who have laid on top of type 1 but then your sub base has to be bang on as the sand once it has been screeded removes any imperfections in the sub base

do you peg them down to retain them ?

Haha, yeh that’s true remember one lad i was working with, turned up with the 3c and went across to see where he wanted me to go... he was one of the nastiest looking f@uckers i’d ever seen, about 6’8/9 tall, built like a s**t house, combat boots up to his knees, piercings everywhere, his head was all shaved apart from a strip in the middle that went down his back and he had what looked like to warthogs in amour tattooed on the side of his head😱🙈....but when I spoke to him he spoke in the purist of Queens English!! Could of quite easily come form the higher end of society.

Just before all this Covid19 stuff kicked off we poured some concrete in front of the entrance to the factory we do alot of work at so after 2 weeks i popped up there to strip the heras fencing.

Danny, dont suppose you want to look at putting in a footpath for us, just temporary nothing fancy just to help with quieing as one shift finishes there coming into contact with each other.

Times like this im glad i bought a 3t swivel makes life so much easier!

Well 5 years ago yesterday i went out in the big bad world of business

The goal was to be an owner operator and just to be on hire to large civil engineering companies with just the one machine. Somehow, I’ve ended up with 5 diggers now and whole host of other equipment (sorry Peter for the mess in the yard)!

We now undertake our own groundworks/civil engineering projects as a company and our clients/customers like the fact I’m still out on the ground; meaning that any problems can be resolved quickly.

I won’t lie, it’s been a roller coaster ride with lots to learn and I’m thankful to anyone that’s offered advice and helped me out along the way - especially in the early days. There have been ups and downs over the years, but we have overcome them all with a strong network of people behind us.
I’m really thankful to anyone that has worked with me, worked for me, and to anyone that has used or recommended us.
Here’s to small businesses and good friends!

Over lay this car park and lower the ramp so they can actually get the ambulances in without grounding out along with some new fencing down at Falmouth
