Planning a lift and re-lay job in Carmarthen
Carmarthen is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

Do you cover Llanelli and Ammanford?
Yes. We cover Carmarthen and the places around it, including Llanelli and Ammanford, and the rest of Dyfed.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
