This week
Specialising in paving around the home
Some are very good, some are rogues
Should have good construction and interpersonal skills
Follow advice elsewhere on this site for help in sorting good from bad
May work in residential or commercial projects
Typically install planting, lawns and other assorted greenery along with maybe a bit of paving
Reasonable standard of work, rarely fully compliant with the actual British Standards but close enough not to warrant having them rip it up and start again
Fair and functional work at sensible prices but nothing that will win any prizes for workmanship
Highly variable in competence, ranging from non-existent to very very good
The really good builders who do paving tend to start specialising in it rather than rely on the occasional job to fill-in slack periods between extensions and porches
In more rural areas, a local builder may often be the only viable option for any paving work. Thankfully, in these less densely populated communities, reputation is everything and this tends to keep standards to a tolerable level.
Some have a tendency to overestimate their actual skills. Tarmacadam , pattern imprinting and sett-laying , for example, are not the sort of skills held by most general builders.
