Pavement advise, please
Could you please advise us on our options with this pavement? Is it possible to make it look better? Or put something on top , but so that it doesn’t raise too much. Or the only option would be to remove this completely?

2 years agoYou can’t really place anything on top as it wouldn’t be stable enough, except decking as it sits on a raised platform. Decking doesn’t last long unless you go for hardwood decking. Ideally I would remove it and get a landscaper to lay something like Sandstone, which has a lovely rustic finish. It comes in several colours. They will dig down, add a base of Type 1 (rubble) then cement the paving in place. This is my Sandstone paving.

Comments (3)Hi, it’s too small to be a floor lamp, “normally” you’d have a floor shade with a diameter of 45cm upwards but in any case given the shade should be wider than the base, i think you’d be hard pushed to find a base! I’m not sure if the proportions of the tripod base are a little out as ”normally” the base is taller than the shade height? It just looks a little off but hard to tell with table size and legs! Do you have other photos of the room at all? What shape is the new table?...See MoreVertical Oak sleeper lawn edging advise please
Comments (7)It all depends on your ground conditions, i.e. what soil type do you have. If they are only protruding 150mm above ground then 600mm is too deep, 300mm would be enough. Dig a trench 4-500mm deep, concrete in the bottom, 100mm, sit the sleepers on the concrete and fill with concrete either side haunching up the sides at 45 degrees to the top. Finished level of concrete 50-100mm below soil level to allow the grass to establish properly. Along the top where the concrete finishes to the oak, paint with a bitumen paint to help prevent the water ingress and rotting the sleepers. 300mm above ground, same as above but 5-600mm deep trench. You do realise that to maintain the lawn you will either have to use a strimmer along the edges or some shears to keep it neat. The strimmer will damage the sleepers over time....See MoreAdvise on light fixtures and pendants ..please
Comments (4)Exactly what Sarah said. Lights such as your chandelier will need to replace the hanging pendant you have and you will need an electrician. They will also need to hang from a beam as they can be very heavy. An easier idea is a lampshade which fits onto your hanging pendant. I would get some nice lampshades from Dunelm or somewhere similar and fit those for now. You could always change them at a later date if you wish to. With the lampshades make sure they are for ceiling pendants and not for table lamps, as the fitting is slightly different although some do both. Just a couple of ideas...See Moretamp75
