Paving slab path

5 years ago

Please could you tell me the size of the path paving slabs and how far apart are they set? The design is very pleasing to the eye. Thanks

Plant thyme. It doesn't mind being trodden on, and comes in various coloured varieties, and smells nice too! Otherwise, gravel should do the trick.

Hi Laura Just wondering, what is the finish on your house? I can see some red brick, but is there any other finish? I would look at edging the slate with red bricks in a soldier bond, i.e. skinny edge next to the path. This will help tie in the garden to the house. You could look at using red bricks as a highlight to edge to the rustic slate if you don't want a contrast. This could be too dark though, depending on the feel of the whole garden - if you feel it will be, Alexandra's suggestion of fossil mint would look great. Good luck!

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.

Don’t do it! There is a reason why you can’t find examples on Pinterest and that’s because it’s not a great look. At a push you could edge all round with one colour and fill in with the other, but again I’m not sure. If you want to add some colour or interest some people use outdoor rugs. They are tough and can be left out in the rain.
