At the moment I have a 4 paving slab path 450 x 1800 (for access to allow pruning of plants) laid on sand which have become wonky. I want to relay them with an edging stone down one side (the other side has a small wall).
Is the following ok
I intend to dig out the length and the width of the 4 slabs to a depth of approx 150mm from finished level
I 'll dig out a 75mm deep x 150 wide foundation for the edging stone and fill in with a mix of 6 parts ballast and 1 part cement.
I'll lay the edging stone using a mix of 4 parts concrete sand and 1 part cement, back filling behind the outside of the edging and filleting the inside.
Because I dont want to buy a big bag of hardcore I'm thinking of using compacted peagravel bought in handable bags to a depth of 75 to 100mm.
The paving slabs would be butt jointed and laid on mortar (4 parts concrete sand 1 part cement.
Does this sound ok or not?
