<p>Well David Doherty did the job, fitted in with me coming back from holiday</p>
<p>He and his lovely team are brilliant, super efficient, professional, done a great job. It looks fantastic and after all the rain, all the water has drained away perfectly</p>
<p>Not only that, but they are lovely guys. David helped me out in so may ways. At the end of the day, you pay for what you get. In fact I got a quote off Radek also from recommendation off this site- well he was several hundred pounds…</p>

In fact I got a quote off Radek also from recommendation off this site- well he was several hundred pounds more expensive, and kept me hanging about for weeks. i think he has over priced himself now</p>
<p>whereas David is solid, also threw in a load of free paving stones for me as I ddint have enough</p>
<p>So he is coming to do some more work for me in september<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></p> Concrete slabs can look like…tag:harringayonline.com,2017-04-28:844301:Comment:9819692017-04-28T16:51:29.670ZFinsbury Park Rangerhttps://harringayonline.com/profile/FinsburyParkRanger
Concrete slabs can look like York stone after a few years once the moss works into it. Plant some 'mind your own business' in between and it can look really nice.

<p>Indian Sandstone will look much nicer than concrete. Though it's weight loading is lower. I presume you're not planning on parking on it?</p>
<p>15m/2 is just over what you need, so should allow for cuts with minimal wastage.</p>

<p>Yeah, great job - reminds me I need to give it a reseal! What I've found with Dave is he prides himself in doing a quality job and his prices are honest. He's not always the cheapest but often he is and the peace of mind of knowing you're getting a decent job done is worth it's weight in gold. He'd rather not get a job than cut corners resulting in an inferior job, particularly important with a patio. Again good luck.</p>

<p>Slate won't shatter if it's laid by a competent person - mine has been down a few years and takes quite a hammering! It can work out very expensive though!</p>

<p>Hi Tigha</p>
<p>Personally I'd go for stone over a 'composite' all day long. If looked after, natural stone improves with age, concrete deteriorates. You'll find plenty of advice online particularly about ethical sourcing etc.</p>
<p>As important, if not more, as what is laid is how it is laid. I've heard many a horror story particularly from David O'Doherty, who laid mine, of frankly appalling workmanship. A solid foundation will mean your patio with last and last - poorly done and you…</p>

<p>As important, if not more, as what is laid is how it is laid. I've heard many a horror story particularly from David O'Doherty, who laid mine, of frankly appalling workmanship. A solid foundation will mean your patio with last and last - poorly done and you could be having it relaid within a couple of years! So it maybe expensive but it's well worth getting it done properly. Good luck.</p>
