Small paving job; where to go?

3DataModem

I have a small 8 x 10 foot space in front of my house. Currently earth with covering layer of stones. And a zillion weeds.

Want to remove stones and earth, and put down some sort of paving. Nothing fancy, will have pots etc for the space afterward.

What sort of cost am I looking at, and what sort of person do I look for? Any recommendations?

Drop into Howth Garden Centre,just before Howth Dart Station and speak to Paul.....(2 minutes down the road from you in Sutton).

Hes owns garden centre and also a professional landscpaper too.


He will look after you.


Was out in Howth yesterday and today fishing,dropped in to have a look around on my way back home,had a bit of a chat with the owner and I bought some nice plants while I was there......got 10% off too...(bank holiday weekend).

Very good selection of plants/flowers/shrubs out there,and theres the 10% off this bank holiday weekend.

Cant you do it yourself? Its dead easy and the labour will be at least the cost of the materials if not double
