Default Paving

Anyone on here do paving for a living? or know someone for a good deal or cash job?
Only need a small paving job done, and I have the pavers already. Just need someone who knows what they are doing (if I did it, it would be all un even)

Cheers

Its a prick of a job on your body so they charge a reasonable rate because they cant do it forever.

Show me someone that has been paving for 20 years and I'll show you someone with a stuffed back and rooted knees.

If you have access to a paving saw and dont have to pay kennards rapage prices then it is very easy and cheap to do yourself.

The problem with small jobs is the cost of hiring the paving saw. Christ knows what kennards would charge but my guess is that it would be in the region of $300 for the day.

I just pinch the one from work when I have jobs to do
