Hi,
I've been creating a few shrub borders as follows:
- 10cm x 10cm x 5cm blocks made of cement/concrete material.
- sub-base of MOT, base of mortar.
2 questions:
1 - I have gaps of 1-6mm particularly on the curves. I am concerned about freeze/thaw/repeat in the winter causing damage.
The options I've come up with are:
- dry mortar brushed/poked in and misted with water.
- wet mortar pointed.
- a resin base product such as Fugabella piped in.
I initially thought of polymeric sand, but that seems to need a pervious base, so I've ruled it out.
2 - What size gaps can I leave alone and not bother filling/pointing?
First time I've done anything like this so pointers are much appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
