OK. Current path to my front door is about 4.5" thick concrete with obvious small stone / pebble mix. It looks dated so Ideally I'd like to replace with slabs with some cobble edging. The options in my little DIY head are:
Option 1: is that this raises the path even higher and I have a garden next to it that I'd like to pebble over. However, I have air blocks to the house that are quite low down so I couldn't lay the pebbles too deep but at the same time, I'd want the pebbles to cover the edging of the path
Option 2: Labour and cost primarily
Option 3: Would it look daft?
Attached is my path and the area to the left (sandy / weedy bit) is my 'garden'. You can just see the house's air-blocks to the left near the ground. The edging stones already there look a lot worse in real life. Don't be fooled!
Any advice would be very much welcome! Thanks.
- Lay slabs over the path (the path is quite level)
- Pull up the existing path and replace with slabs (Big & expensive comparatively, as the concrete is extremely thick and solid and costly to get taken away
- Screed the existing path but then angle grind shapes into the path to make them look like slabs (Don't laugh!)
