Mis-Matched Products (No. One)

Here, the paving contractor has agreed to extend an existing driveway/car park, using block paving ‘to match’ the original. Not only does the block not match, either in colour, size or manufacturer (the original being Imperial, pre 1980 product) but no attempt has been made to disguise the additional works by including a soldier course to match the lawn side pattern and provide the owner with a completely separate pathway feature, instead attempting and failing to achieve any kind of invisible stitching.

At least then it would have been a pathway adjacent a driveway, instead of an eye-sore, subject to much amusement by the property neighbours.
