Lift and re-lay block paving in Bathgate: what to expect
Bathgate 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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
