Dan1983 Posted July 3 Author Posted July 3 One last thing we may do is add a triangular cut of oak sleeper as the levels drop down to soften the look of the RSJ What do others think?
Dan1983 Posted August 21 Author Posted August 21 Been away for a week but guys are cracking on with the patio and doing a great job! Decided on offset bond rather than brick bond, really pleased with it. My choice to break bond behind the garage as won’t be seen and saves me some slabs/ losing more of the garden to keep bond (retaining wall would have to have been further back) Gone for mid grey grout and will use a similar colour for the decorative stones between slabs and sleepers (stones as allows sleepers to move a little and didn’t want any cuts along the back edge! 1
Dan1983 Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 Done with the laying now, grout next week One final cut to make down the side by the looks of it please with the steps also!
Dan1983 Posted September 6 Author Posted September 6 All finished a while ago Pleased with it all, the flow point ultrascape does seem patchy in a few areas but had heavy rain a couple of hours after final section was complete so not sure if that was the cause 1
gaz_moose Posted September 6 Posted September 6 that looks fantastic. did you try a triangle cut to soften the stepdown of the sleeper wall? Mine is literally the same and i was thinking of doing the same thing. I'd bought 19 2.4m oak sleepers and they accidently sent me 24 so was tempted to experiment.
Dan1983 Posted September 6 Author Posted September 6 (edited) Not yet Gaz but we are going to do it Few bits to finish it off really -Need the decorative stone between slabs and sleepers -New socket/ control box wired in to control lights -Top soil and about 50 lavenders for planters plus some turf to blend lawn in (guessing I need to crack on with this now or leave it until spring) Edited September 6 by Dan1983
gaz_moose Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Those beds full of lavender will look smart. Id probably chuck a load of daffodil / snow drop bulbs in too so you get a bit of colour in jan/March before your lavender wakes up in May. post a picture if you get round to the triangle bits.
Andehh Posted September 7 Posted September 7 That does look good, we could have done better with our oak sleeper retaining wall, but hindsight is wonderful!
