Gravel Boards

Monday, 28 February 2011 12:38 Written by Administrator
Gravel boards are those prefabricated slabs which are used to ether make small walls, or as a base board on wooden fencing. Some garden fences are made entirely from gravel boards, but this is relatively uncommon. Gravel boards are also used extensively along public highways. There are various different decorative gravel boards, however they are more a quick jobbie rather than an attractive finish.

Garden Pebbles and Stones

Monday, 28 February 2011 12:37 Written by Administrator
When decorating with garden pebbles and stones you need to consider which garden pebbles and stones suit the job the best. While you are looking for the most attractive garden pebbles and stones there are also other things to consider too. How long would you like your garden pebbles and stones to last? Beach Pebbles will last a lot longer than slate and sandstone because beach pebbles have been washing up and down against other pebbles for a long long time and in comparison sitting in your garden is a pretty cushty lifestyle. On the other hand slate and sandstone have been snug with their neighbours for hundreds of years, and they have been blasted and smashed into a new existence, with new surfaces exposed to the elements. While appearance is very important when choosing your garden pebbles and stones, think about how they will look in 5-10 years, and choose the most appropriate type of garden pebbles and stones for your property.

Somebody look for clay pavers obviously knows what they are talking about - you could get the cheap concrete pavers, but we all know clay pavers are the best quality around.

Clay pavers are more expensive, obviously because they have to stay in a kiln for hours and hours, and fuel costs are extortionate, whereas concrete pavers can just sit in a warehouse for a day and they are done.

How to lay paving slabs on soil

Wednesday, 05 January 2011 12:16 Written by Administrator

I had to learn how to lay paving slabs on soil years ago before I got into the paving business because my wife wanted to build a shed in the paddock with her horses. So as I said, I learned how to lay paving slabs on soil and its quite simple.

Flatten the soil as much as possible - use some builders string to make sure its level.

Mix some builders sand or paving sand with some concrete (small amounts) and lay a nice big flat level of paving sand on top of the soil (you can do it without if you just want to know how to lay paving slabs on soil, but better with builders sand)

As you lay each paving slab, use a liquid level to ensure its level.

Once you layed all the paving slabs, mix some concrete and stuff it around the edged of the paving slabs so that the soil doesn't wash away.

And now you know how to lay paving slabs on soil.
