Default Block paving question. Sand or sand/cement for the gaps?

I'm widening my driveway and laying more block paving (standard 20
x10 cm blocks).


Sorry cannot answer your Q.
but did you do the job yourself? is it easy for a competent DIY'er?


Based on my experience today, I'd say - Get a man in!

Getting everything levelled & smoothed off is *much* harder than I thought
it was going to be. Cutting blocks is a pain.

Part of the problem is that I'm adding to an existing driveway and the drive
has both positive and negative curves (i.e. humps and hollows). In an ideal
world I would rip the whole lot up and re-lay it all flat but that's more
work than I'm prepared to do.
