DIY garden Path Hack"

[@PavedinStoneLtd]

Thanks Scott...altho I do have to be honest and say this hack wasn't from me 🤷‍♂️ It is a neat trick, especially for when you are starting out. I can remember I had a bucket of forms I had made using battens notched out at various thicknesses.....long time ago now 👴

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Arh well I’m sure it was you must of been someone else then can’t remember whom plus my memory’s shot that don’t help. Anyways yeh I might come down and visit soon say hello as I’m thinking of hanging up my trowel soon getting to old for this shit backs in bits ankles fucked I’m falling apart 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Glad you found it useful 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@anthonyknight5465]

That's a great idea. Would it work better if you used a baton that was 3 or 4mm shallower than the tiles, so that you always had a bed fractionally higher than the underside of the tile? Then it wouldn't matter if you lost the top bit of muck when you are scraping it level, and when you tap the tile down to get good contact with the muck you'd squeeze that tiny extra bit of muck out the sides.

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Sounds like a perfect world that Good idea 🏅 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love that staggered path! I think what I'd do is fill in two of the gaps with a lovely fine white aggregate and then plant a topiary tree with an uprighter in every third gap. I reckon that would be feckin lush! Especially at night.

Similar thing to what I did with my patio. Mine was a notch cut out of hard plastic strip instead of a tile. Similar to screeding

[@herrlip72]

Rather than use a bit of 20 mm tile as your scrape, use a bit of 10 mm timber as your scrape and your bed will be 10 mm above the last stone so you have 10 mm of sink bedding so you don't have to keep topping up after scraping the bed.

Hi taught u said u a wet mix is better that mix looks fairly dry

[@4doors_m0r3wh0r3s]

Only last week or so I was thinking it would be good to make something like this out of a bit of 20 by 40mm box section about 4ft long, and attaching a bit of 2ft flatbar on one side that could be adjusted up or down with wongnuts or finger screws depending on the depth of the slab being laid, bymy count it wouldn't cost much

I’m hooked on your content boyo quick question we live. On heavy clay it’s sunk a lot this Sumer gardens all cracked grass dead I want to tile orcilen over all the dead grass have you done a viddie going over heavy clay with tile in regards to the preparation of the ground or any tips please buddy ?

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Same old stuff you’ll need a hardcore base as usual so get the shovel out 150mm dig out 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@nvrhys]

Great tip thanks. How would you approach a section which is 2420mm long with 595mm tiles? It’s an L shape so the 2420mm section has to continue to a much wider section. Wondering whether to cut the last two runs into a 500 and a 120 effectively? Awkward to fill a 20mm gap?

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Hard to answer that maybe WhatsApp me some images I’ll take a look at it 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You still mix it in a mixer. Hard work laying a patio and mixing in a barrow all the time. You won’t mix it as well as a mixer either

Most effective way if mixing by had is on a big 8 x4 sheet or 2. Rake handy for mixing.
