Victorian tile front path with rope edging in Acton

Dio's front path in Acton is now Victorian tiles with rope edging on both sides, laid to the client's own design. We did a full dig out, put in a new concrete base with metal bars, and supplied and fitted the tiles and edging in 3 days. Dio was really pleased with it. £3,820 including VAT, supply and fit, with waste removal included.
