I fancy doing some paving at the back of our house to replace some

There are a couple of manholes at jaunty angles though and a soil pipe
so I can see a lot of cutting and faffing so wondered about the resin
stuff that I'm seeing advertised for drives.

Anyone got any opinion or experience? Is it DIYable?


no need to fear doing blockwork round oddly angled drains.


Years ago I thought it might look nice to do some block paving round
circular flower beds and various other curved edges...

It all looked nice, but at the time I did not really think through the
consequences of cutting in all the blocks:

It took a couple of days to cut them all in, and by the time it was done
we must have had half a ton of left over offcuts!

(still we needed some hardcore for under another bit of paving elsewhere)
