Planning a lift and re-lay job in Stirling
Stirling is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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.
