Hi to everyone,
Been doing a bit of surfing to see what is happening to my block paved patio and this thread came up on google.
I have just had someone in to clean and re-sand my patio which now looks as good as new. However I think that they may have used the wrong sand. It is very fine and pale.
It feels very sandy underfoot and I am constantly having to sweep the sand away.
When it rains the sand seems to come up and gathers round the low spots. It's been down about 6 weeks now and it's really getting on my nerves. Also there are some gaps appearing so this can't be good.
The builders that did it are friends of my husbands and they also layed a driveway for us at the same time and to be honest that feels abit sandy as well.
I want to try and get my facts right before I ask them to come back.
Does anyone agree that this isn't right or am I being impatient and it will settle down eventually.
Thanks in advance
