Fun project No.2

You have no concrete pad

1. Dig out about 75-100mm of ground over the length and width of the proposed walkway or path. Install bender board along each side to define the walkway of about 700 mm wide.

2. Spread fine crushed granite (fines) to about 25mm from the top. Rake smooth, then water down with a garden spray.

3. Lay 600x600mm slate or quartzite tiles of about 12mm thick from SWL in your favorite colours. Lay them in the center of the walkway and about 100mm apart.

4. Spread more fines to bring the fines to the same level as the slates. Wash in with a garden spray. The walkway is ready to use and will become firm and very durable.

The slates will stand all but the most severe usage, and any slate can be easily replaced in minutes.

Have fun, enjoy your home, and tell me about your project.
