There may not be money to be saved by doing this yourself when you consider that you would have to hire skip(s) to get rid of the soil, a roller to compact the hardcore, which you would also have to buy. You would probably not get the concrete at the same price as a contractor would..
Also back injury is quite expensive...
20 x 11 at 4" depth is 1.4 cubic metres.If it's 20ft x 11ft thats about 1.4 cubic metres for a 4inch depth, do you know how many barrows of concrete that is? It's about 30! Try mixing 1 by hand and see how you feel after it......
i got a quote for 2 tons of gravel and 6 bags of cement for €105, how much would the ready mix cost, how would i know how much to ask for
Get a couple of friend for the afternoon, and get them food & pints in your local afterwards!!!
Uh-oh... you know you may have to obtain planning consent to put in a driveway? Check with your council - unless you're coming on to a main road with poor visibility (e.g. on a bend) it's usually not a problem, but quite apart from any other considerations, if you haven't got the relevant permissions you won't be able to sell your house without them. The council are also the ones who "dish" the footpath for access. A telephone call to the local planning department before you do anything may save you a lot of time, hassle and legal proceedings.there is a footpath there so i am using that as a guide and it slopes down away from the house, im dumping the soil out in the back garden and level it off, i knock in a wall to create the driveway and will use this for the hardcore
