I decided to get someone in to build this, rather than attempt it myself, becuase it covers quite a large area, and I didn't think I'd have the time or patience to do it myself!
These first pictures shows the area that was dug out and flattened ready for the paving stones
And these next few show the inital pavers being laid. You can see from these pics, the drain lids. These were all on different levels, so they had to be cut down or raised up to get the right levels. Can you imagine what they would have been like if I had attempted it?!
These last pictures here shows the whole area paved. There is a space left in the middle for a gravelled area to put tubs on etc. It should look really nice next summer (if we actually get a summer in 2008!)
And here is a picture a few days later with it all grouted and finished off with some tubs on display too.
Here's a couple of pictures of the Dorset Naga's. I have quite a few of them growing now...looking forward to burning my mouth out on these in a month or so :-)

Lovely pics of red crosses in white boxes????
dunno whats going on there!
looks a bit different to when you moved in!!! looking good though. that gravelled area would look nice with a water feature in the middle of it
Yea I cant believe how much I've done in a year.
The area at the side of the garage has been dug over and I have got a pond in - just gotta grass it and get electricity in the garage so I can run the pond pump off.
You should come over at some point and have a look.
feckin hell. looks good now - and precisely because you didnt do it yourself. winner :)
