If you use stone chippings or wood chippings I would still dig out 100 mm ,put a treated timber edge !00mm in (Cheaper & quicker than concrete) , lay the terram, 75mm of type 1 ,compact , this w

Ya lazy fooker. That thing couldn't lift the top off a pie! You would be quicker with a spade.

6inchs out all over 4 inchs of MOT1 scalpings wacking with a plate then membrane covering of sharp sand wacked again and then flags with a 5 in 1 mortar base not 5 spots but a complete covering .

level it off polythene then a few ton of chips sorted :thumbs:

what use is the polythene........... :hmm: and how many is a "few ton".......... :hmm:
Just a guess mate.... but to stop weeds coming through?

Or should i be using something different to polythene?

:thumbs:

you may still get weeds due to birds dropping seeds ect you can leave a 10 15 mil gape and point the slabs or you can get stuff in tubs that you brush in the 10 15 mil gaps thumbs

you will still get the weeds, i have concrete print and weeds appear in the mock groves :yes:

so if it was mine i would put the netted membrane down and spot the flags with sand and cement ( drier than a brickies mix ) and lay the flags, the rest of the area just bang some bark down, if you keep a check on it, it should work ok and look like alan tittymarsh has done it :thumbs:
