Some leftover roof tiles were used to build this wood store on the side of a garage (wood is from dead trees felled on the same site), which is practical and adds to the look of the garden. If you were to widen the front by removing some stone would it be large enough for similar, with a sleeper across the front, or even a bike-shed/park?

Hi everyone. I just wanted to show you my new steps. They were finally finished on Saturday last week. A large wooden frame was made over the steps and filled with concrete so not access or egress for a whole week. They were then plastered with a very fine concrete to give them a smooth appearance. I love the new steps. The hand rail is a total feature and I cannot wait till my seeds have germinated and the whole area will be covered in geraniums and begonias. What do you think? New return at bottom of steps beside front door New even steps to heaven!

Hi Derek I would not worry too much about not sealing them - the argument still rages as to how much of a benefit or nuisance sealing is. The first step for cleaning is to simply try jet washing them with a domestic jet wash that you can buy from a DIY store. Be careful not to wash the mortar between the slabs too aggressively because depending on your washer, it can damage it. If you have a lot of algae and stain marks then it is probably worth adding in a proprietary cleaner as well. It is worth getting one from a supplier of stone, rather than a generic one from the DIY store as you want to make sure it will do the job but not damage the stone. I don't know where you are in the country, but London Stone are a good choice in the South East https://www.londonstone.co.uk/paving-tile-ancillaries/natural-stone-cleaners/ Like carpets, patios do need cleaning a couple of times a year, depending on how clean you like them to look.

As above, put in a ring footing for the outer walls and some pad footings in where the stepping stones will be. Build the outer walls with blockwork to the required depth of the pool and then install a box welded butyl liner. This will alleviate the need for unsightly folds in the corners and it is easier to set the paving on the edges, allow for a couple of centimetres overlap of the top paving. Now build the blockwork on top of the liner for the stepping stones, again making sure the blockwork is slightly smaller than the slab dimensions as this helps make the stepping stones look like their floating. Paint the blockwork black under the stepping stones and this will make them less obvious.
