used the raised bed as a guide to screed the lower section of pavinglutonlagerlout wrote:mitzi have you laid slabs on timber ?
or is it just an optical illusion
fair play you have had a good crack at it yourself
but i know a lot more skint builders than flush ones
LLL
large concrete haunching behind the timber where the higher section runs over it all the slabs were laid on dry 6:1screed all the free edges laid on 3:1 mortar
i know its not a pro job but it was on a budget using what we had raised beds meant no skips to remove soil
original garden was sloped lawn with decking u shaped path laid on the soil so we used old decking to form beds first then dug up lawn into those
in one pic you can see a 75mm cement fillet where it buts up to the old patio which is up hill and down dale at that point so seemed the esist way to link it
