I'd put a clay paver around that as an edge course. Something red-ish, to complement the wall without matching it. I'm particularly enamoured of the Blockleys Castleyard Mix just lately, having recently completed project managing a driveway where they were used...

nice bit of variation in the colours there my only gripe with clays is that they can look a bit sameish

If you get a clay multi, there's far more colour variation than there is in almost any concrete block. I'm less keen on the monotone clays: they're fine for edge courses, detailing or patterning, but as blocks of colour, they are nowhere near as interesting as multis.



The 'darker' block here is sold s "charcoal" but I think its undeniable brown tones mean it is closer to Ebony

Good idea Tony. I do know of a job which uses the castleford mix plus mixed with some reds i think.

It's the little touches that like that make a huge difference.

Tony is that the job at Culcheth?

Here's some pics of my current project, as you can see I've only a few flags left to put down. Think I've done a great job on this, if anyone is looking similar work done give me a shout, I can do just a good as job for you.







Heh, that's actually what I seen when I started lifted the patio. Couldn't belive what was under there and that someone would go to the bother of laying each corner on bricks and rubble. It must have taken twice as long to do it like this as to do it properly. Think these pics would serve well as how not to lay a patio.

Nice rat home under there.

Nice rat home under there.

Ditto.

Surprised they stood the test of time so well. None in the pics seem to have failed.


Does it get a space on the main site?

As it is quite possible that it was an haven for rats, it might be a good idea to keep the little one away from there, as veils disease ( leptosporosis ) is a killer. I would mix bleach with water and spray the whole area as a precaution. :;):

Ive had veils disease, Probably caught from the bank whilst fishing, very nasty

[Watsy]

Not sure about rats but there used to be a few mice lived under until we got the cat and she makes pretty short work of any that she sees. (See here)
It's completely gone now and I'm in the process of redoing the patio and back garden. I'll make sure to post the finished job.
