According to Kirsty, she was offered a whopping £10,000 after inquiring about a new driveway for the property.
But rather than spend the astronomical sum, Kirsty decided to go hands-on and redesign the existing brick driveway.
The DIY fanatic took to TikTok, where she shared the project – which ended up costing her a fraction of the original price, totaling £300.
To start the glow, Kirsty first pressure cleaned the dingy surface to remove dirt and debris stuck in between.
After doing this twice, the handyman painted the old bricks dark gray with a giant 25L can of Block Magic Sealant.
For this they demonstrated in the videoAll you needed was the sealer, a bucket, an extendable roller and a small area brush.
According to Kirsty, it’s better to apply the product twice — even after the later pressure washing, there was no chipping, she added.
Meanwhile, for edges near the garden, the handyman mixed some black caulk with the dark gray liquid – this gave the area a darker hue.
Finally, sand was added for the gaps and filled with clear caulk.
Kirsty explained that this simple trick will stop weeds from growing and undo all the hard work.
