Can you use a mixture of stone sizes, ie some pretty large stones and medium sized ones to get a more rougher, organic look and less consistent? thank you for the video.
@naturalhabitatlandscaping3681 18 күн бұрын
Hi , I presume you are referring to the size of the pebble dash/harling stone? I actually like your idea… it would give it a more organic look but it would be hard to throw that kind of stone into the wall to be honest. The other thing is, all the builders merchants only sell it in one size(6mm) so it would be hard to do your idea…. unless you made your own mix of stones up??🤔 If you try it, let me know how it turns out 😁

Please could you explain why you put a membrane beneath the slabs. I have never seen anyone do this before.
@naturalhabitatlandscaping3681 27 күн бұрын
Hi Richard, two reasons really: 1. The heavy duty membrane acts a bit like a fabric mat to ensure there is no movement to the mortar bed. I don't normally use it when I'm laying slabs but, as I say in the video this site was a really wet one so belt and braces. 2. It was easier to place the weed membrane in at this point as the rest of the garden was going to be dressed with decorative gravel so no need to cut around all the slab work etc. Hope that answers your question😀

The oil will present itself on the dipstick in the form of a blob that can easily be seen, the petrol primer needs only to be pressed about 3 times plus as the mower is in use it actually charges the battery up as you go along , just disconnect it over the winter when the mower is not in use and a quick charge at the start of the season is all you need.

@naturalhabitatlandscaping3681 2 ай бұрын
Hi Elijah, this model is a four stroke so, you don't mix oil with the petrol mate😊 For those that don't know the difference it might be worth stating this. A four-stroke engine uses four separate strokes-two up and down for intake and two up and down for exhausts-and fires every other time it reaches the top. A two-stroke engine is fuelled by a mixture of petrol and oil and has no camshaft or valves. It fires every time the piston reaches the top. Hope that helps😁

There are thousands of how to videos on here for patio cleaning using bleach, hardly an unknown revelation. The key for a DIYer is time does not matter, so using supermarket bleach is an obvious method. Although as implied in this video, it may require reapplication at which point the economics are not so cheap. It is, at best, 4.5% concentration which explains why 24 hours ("dwell time") with no rain and possible reapplication may be needed. In contrast you can buy 10 - 15% bleach (without a licence) and make up your own solution. Hence professional patio cleaning businesses can "get away with" dwell times of 15 - 20 minutes and thus do large areas in a single day. resin based pointing is a very expensive option in terms of materials cost, but is quick and so saves on labour costs and skill. Overall project cost therefore down to whether you are a time rich / cash poor DIYer !
