Hi Craig. Great video. We have a path where each slab is separated by pice of grass. Our dogs keeps digging at the grass sections. Therefore want to lay gravel instead of the grass & for a border around the side of the path. I’ll then use the resin. I’ve got a couple of questions: - What is the depth of gravel have to used for the path - What base would I need for the gravel Thanks in advance

@MrandMrsDIY

Thanks mate! This type of pour on only goes to the top layer to keep it all together, my advice would be to prep the base with MOT roadstone, then you can put your weed guard on it, then your stones/gravel! Cheers

So underneath your pathway, it should be prepped properly, I personally would tamper the surface down so its nice and strong, then overlay the membrane over it, because the resin only goes on the surface. Cheers

That's interesting, I didn't know you could do your own resin. I have a lawn I've wanted to put a path into for a long time but I'm put off by the natural contours, I wont level well. This may be a decent, simple alternative. On your demo, how much resin did you use for that area? Was it the whole container? Is that the 5kg one?

@MrandMrsDIY

2 ай бұрын

I absolutely love this idea. Is it really expensive to do compared to concrete? Maybe not as beautiful, but is it more cost-effective?
