Providing I got my calculations right :p

Damn the calculator on a PC. I'm used to a Mac. You are correct 55.74m 2 it is. God only knows what I hit wrong there.

Concrete it.
Easy to clean when you've leaked on it.
Cheaper as well.

I graveled an area at the front of my house for either 400 or 500 quid (can't remember). If i ever leak oil i just move the gravel around. Stops
burglers as they make a noise walking over it, drains easily and won't go wonky in a few years as the sand underneeth gets washed out.
(although the toy car does have a brick 'road' to the garage)

Just had a price for doing my patio, 32' x 11', (don't do metric), £900 in brick block paviours. Mind you that doesn't include
the blocks, as I had purchased those intending to DIY it, but SWMBO said get it done profesionaly, (wonder if thats because I brought the blocks two
years ago). Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

you can get concrete pressed into the shape of bricks, so it looks good but cannot settle. The only give away is the expansion joints.
My pal had a vast area (about 100m squared) done for £800 labour only, supplied his own materials. Included concreted edges in a fancy shape. Anyone
in Yorkshire who wants it doing i can put through to the guy, an old pal who retired from kitchens into landscaping.
