Lift and re-lay block paving in Pontarddulais: the local picture
Around Pontarddulais, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
