Had someone round to quote for renovating front of house area earlier. Was more just thinking it's time to get the process started again but they have a window at the start of Jan so need to think about it a bit more seriously.
Looking at getting front yard bit (about 4.5m x 3.5m) dug up and new slabs put down plus a new front wall. Usual Victorian terrace but we are end of terrace so got two walls to do (looks like the one in the picture).
Firstly, any suggestions on what costs would be reasonable for this? When we looked into it a few years back we got a big range of costs for it.
Secondly, thoughts between porcelain or sandstone slabs? I don't know why but I was just thinking of going with sandstone but porcelain also looks a decent option now I'm reading up on it.
Thirdly, any thoughts on what would look nice for a wall. Original plan was to go for a half height wall with railings on top. Guy I was talking to today reckons that would look weird on the corner though and I'm struggling to find an example of it. Any thoughts?
Cheers.
