Endless flippin leaves... i fill multiple bins with the damn things every week
I can't think of a surface which is leaf-proof. Are you suggesting that leaves don't fall onto tarmac or block drives?!one thing i have noticed lately. the transition from the drive to the pavement. the better ones seem to have been set out better and look tidy where the blocks meet the pavement. other use tarmac to fill in the gap , to vaying degrees of success. others , like mine , use a cement mix which looks like the worst option.

Thats just lazy, a few bags of instant lay macadam would make it look much better.one thing i have noticed lately. the transition from the drive to the pavement. the better ones seem to have been set out better and look tidy where the blocks meet the pavement. other use tarmac to fill in the gap , to vaying degrees of success. others , like mine , use a cement mix which looks like the worst option.
Just as a follow up I’ve decided to go against resin as everyone I’ve spoke to who’s had it done think they look nice to begin with but quickly deteriorate and same with patterned concrete so following advice on here I’m looking to have blocks but don’t want any weeds
So does anyone know a reputable company in Yorkshire? As I rly don’t want to get fleeced
This is what I’m fancying and same colour sliding gate

Blocks are marshalls tegula pennant grey ( i think anyway).
Cant help with your area but maybe start with someone on the marshalls register, which while wont guarantee a great job is a good start.
Can always send me a pm with what they are quoting for in terms of size etc and ill let you know if its too cheap or expensive.

It looks nice mate but will it resist weeds, moss and sinking? So does anyone know a reputable company in Yorkshire? As I rly don’t want to get fleeced

SDG Paving in Leeds have been going forever and came highly recommended to me.
Only reason I didn't use them was my mate happened to be twiddling his thumbs the exact time I went on holiday and he was looking for something to do. So I left them too it and came home to a new drive.
Steve at SDG was the same price but couldn't get started for 6-8weeks. Which was no bad thing.

i did my drive removal of the existing concrete drive and small garden was subbed out but the sub base and brick work was done by myself.
