Hi Deefadog I just put on the bottom of my post there that I don't know how to get an image up. Any ideas? How embarrasing!

Hi I'm creating a step into a sloped garden and I'm after some advice. As you can see from the photos I have a fence down two sides of the garden, and the mounds of earth taken from the bottom (the hardcored bit) is to be spread along the rest of the garden to create a flatter area...

Hi Levbun I've just done the very thing you are asking about, and all on my todd too! My slope wasn't as big as yours. and the wall isn't as high either. I cut a step into a sloping garden, and the wall has ended up around a meter or so high. I've used around 15 sleepers so far and used...

Thanks for the replies guys. Hardcore is the type delivered from the buiders merchants. Just couldn't workout how one minute it was solid and then the next it wasn't. Only in one corner though. I'll have a look around for MOT stone then I gues, never heard of it before, but I'll find it...

As the title suggests this is what's happened. I had 4.5 inches of compacted hardcore all ready for a patio on top. It's rained a bit since the hardcore has gone down (which I was told by someone was a good thing as it helps it to bind???). Anyway, one corner of it seems to have gone quite...

Thanks

I'm in the process of laying a natural stone patio. However, I'm having a bit of bother. The first lot of stone I ordered from B&Q (limestone) was well below the advertised depth (advertised 30mm, more like 15-20mm), so I asked them to change it. They said they couldn't provide what I wanted...

Cheers!

I'm just on the last lap of finishing off my new garden (taken bloody months!). I'm building a railway sleeper retaining wall. I've just read on a website that I should have laid a concrete bed, used 20mm mild steel dowels and all sorts. What I have actually done is fix 5" posts 2" into the...

No, this isn't some rally cry to form some sort of movement and representation of the garden! I'm trying to work out the best way of putting power into the bottom of my (what will be when it's finished) new garden. The garden slopes a little away from the house towards a step which I have...

Good afternoon all. I'm having a blast at laying a stone patio this weekend. Everywhere I read about how to do this they all mention patio spacers. I've looked everywhere for these and nobody seems to have heard of them Any help on this one?

Evening all. I'm about to have a stab at laying a limestone patio this weekend; just over 15 square metres. All the hardcore is in place, and compacted. But how do I work out how much mortar I'll need to make up. And what should the mix be? Someone told me: - 2 cement 2 building...

Evening! In the process of laying a natural stone patio, butted up against a railway sleeper retaining wall. As wood shrinks and expands, should I use a flexible sealant between the stone and the sleepers or just a usual grout as with the rest of the patio? Would the usual grout crack with...
