We were quoted £10k for a new driveway so decided to revamp our old one for £300 – our weeding killing method is genius
A SAVVY woman has shared how she transformed her old grubby driveway for just £300 after being quoted an eye-watering sum of £10k.
DIY enthusiast Kirsty Gore took to TikTok where she explained how thanks to a few easy tips and tricks she managed to revamp her old driveway, saving heaps of money in the process.
According to Kirsty, she had been quoted a whopping £10k after inquiring about a getting a new driveway for the property.
However, rather than forking out the astronomical sum, Kirsty decided to get crafty and revamped the existing brick driveway.
The DIY fanatic took to TikTok where she shared the project – which in the end cost her just a fraction of the original price, coming in at £300.
To begin the glow-up, Kirsty started by pressure-washing the grubby surface to remove any dirt and debris stuck in-between.
After doing this twice, the craft enthusiast went on to paint the old bricks with a massive 25l can of Block Magic Sealant in dark grey.
For this, she demonstrated in the video, all you needed was the sealant, a bucket, an extendable roller, as well as a brush for any smaller areas.
According to Kirsty, it’s better to apply to product twice – even after pressure-washing later, there was no chipping, she added.
Meanwhile, for edges near the garden, the DIY whizz mixed a bit of black sealant with the dark grey liquid – this gave the area a darker tone.
Last but certainly not least was adding sand for the gaps and topping it off with clear sealant.
Kirsty explained that this simple hack will prevent any weeds from growing and ruining the hard work.
