DIY driveways

Having taken the luxury of buying my own house late last year, I want to extend my driveway using block paving.

Anyone out there had any previous experience of laying brick paved driveways or paths.

I've been told I need to dig about 200mm. Fill up 100mm with rubble and then about another 60mm of grit sand. Does it need compacting with a machine? Will probably only need to park a car with a max weight of 1400kg.

Have also been told to set outer bricks in cement.

Anyone got any hints and tips on this, or know any good links for techniques or suppliers of materials?
