The sub base is constructed using MOT Type 1. It should be at least 4 inches thick, the sub base should be constructed in layers (3 or 4 layers) and each layer compacted using a vibrating plate. The number of passes required with the vibrating plate depends on the vibrating plate, and the MOT Type 1 should be doused with water before compacting. The sub base should either extend slightly beyond the footprint of the paved area or the sub base should be restrained by something solid and inorganic, so as the restraining material will not rot.
First time I've watched you Guys , you have inspired me - I HATE my long feather edge fencing at the side of my house , this is exactly what i need to cover up the ugly fence ( is in great condition though ) - saw you did that also . THANK YOU SO MUCH , i will keep watching you ...
First timers, don't be tempted to do it on a hot day. It goes off too quick and you hardly have time to get it out of the bucket. The timing of washing it off is critical. It helps if theres two of you as it sets quickly ( at 20c ) A paddle mixer that fits onto an electric drill worked for me but only just up to the job. If you damp it down whilst working it, it can lead to a weaker mix and lighter colour. I'm a diy er and although my last attempt was better, (on a cooler day), it's a risky job for a novice.
I have a row of 6 setts to do at the front of the entrance to the driveway and was wondering about pointing setts. I havent done flowpoint but thought best way so i arrived here. Looks like a fairly straightforward process but i know what im like at concreting rushing around like a blue arsed fly so can imagine ill be panicking when applying flow point. Ill be doing it though. Great informative video. Thanks
Love this! You guys are best of British, working hard and doing great stuff. Great video, I'll use this to edge my lawn at a castle in Buckinghamshire. Thanks!
Thought the same but I've seen another contractor do the same and start from the top also... hopefully someone can give us an explanation work from top to bottom
Probably starts at the top so he has a full board at the top. No-one will notice if the bottom board will be trimmed, say the ground was unlevel for example, but it would be very obvious if the top board was cut.
Wait. This guy is in the UK and he's using the God-awful metric system? WTF? The metric system sucks. Use feet and inches like a normal human being, dude. No offense.
Watching this makes me realise how much I know compared to you. Over 26 years hard landscaping, over a billion pounds worth of projects across three continents and I’m watching rank amateurs like you feed terrible/bad information to the masses on YT. 😂😂
I’m doing this weekend, only question I have is what do you use to fill the voids under the sleepers between the footings? If you could let me know that would be great! Cheers
How to you stop the flow point flowing out of the open end of your cobbles? Good video fella, used to love your videos but you disappeared. Hope all is well with you. You and Brockstone were my favourite landscapers.
