This project has a 6" grass joint. Moss is fickle, but in a woodland garden with low traffic we plant Scottish moss.Try laurentia fluvatilis too if you want a flower.

This is so effective laid on the diagonal. I would definitely use this image as inspiration for a client. Beautifully done!

I have Brazilian slate. I had same issue when installed. So i used brick and slab cleaner from screw fix if i recall. Will add a photo of each i used in a bit. I then sealed them using a cheap slab sealer. Perfect, nothing wrong. cost about 20 quid for botha and 5 litre cans. They are now water proof, but slippery when wet especially with flip flops. opps.. Remember, if you need to allow soak away, you may not be able to use sealer as it creates a water barrier. but if its just in the garden on level ground sloping away form house you should be fine to go. As soon as dry, they are as good to go as before, but clean remember to let completely dry and needs 24 hours of good weather to dry. Use at least 2 coats. works a treat.!!!

Patio: grass or gravel?

Hi Sven. They look nice in glossy photos but they always seem to be taken when the lawn has just been laid:-). In reality I personally think grass between paving is a pain! I have inherited some round stepping stones leading to the old shed and whilst I can run the mower over them keeping the edges neat can take ages. Unless you’re very fastidious with a lawn edge trimmer I wouldn’t bother. There are alternatives tho, plants that don’t need mowing such as Irish moss, chamomile, thyme, sedum etc. a few can deal with heavy foot traffic as well. Check out this blog: https://www.thegardenglove.com/stepables-perfect-plants-for-paths-and-walkways/ Perhaps a mix of both gravel and plants would look nice and also create a little scent.

garden patio wall ruptured (open cracks)

There is definitely no tanking (waterproofing) on the back of the wall and the water is coming through and blowing the render off. You need to excavate the soil away from the back of the wall, and allow it to dry out. You then need to paint the back of the wall with a tanking paint - I usually specify Permaseal. You'll need to remove all the render from the front face and seal it with an outdoor sealant. I'd also install a French drain at the back of the wall - you can put it just below soil level so that you can put the lawn over the top. A french drain is a simple construction and if you Google it you'll find many sites telling you how to do it. Once the wall is dry you can then either re-render or clad the front face.

you could cut the concrete path from around the step and along the base of the house, that will allow you to lower the grass strip and the path, you can reface the step with tiles and re render any of the base of you outside dash that might be exposed from removing and replacing the concrete path. this would allow you to have small step down from you patio on the end and side without the sloping look from the grass as it stands. hope this makes sense or you could actually rebuild the step up, make it wider/deeper and reposition the path slightly allowing a bit of evenness on the width, this allows the patio to tie into new door step. id probably go with the second option thinking about as your step as it is looks very small., this larger step could also be tiled forgive the lines but just to show you heights you could try and tie in together it might be a case of a bit of both, heighten, widen and deepen the step and lower the grass slightly to achive this
