Totally agree and see the benefits of inboard cutting but on certain jobs when there is less than 3 meters of paving between borders it just never looks right IMO

The fellow we did it for was quoted for a 225mm wall but said it too expensive we put ties in the wall and concreted behind it just below the soldiers everything else I'm guilty as charged

Must say i dont have any issues with darts etc, never seen them fail in anyway in the past. It keeps the pattern and looks like you went for the easy option when you lose the pattern

nice work pink
the only change I would make is instead of having the front of the brick forming the step risrer in line with the house wall I would of lined the back of the brick in line with the inside edge of the drainage channel so the border would flow instead of having a gimp
very neat work though

Thats a gimp? In that case my mask is faulty....

And call me pedantic but where the tight curve of the paving border is i would have cut the angle instead of square. Same time, looks better

i dont agree as the border follows the shape of the wall and thats exactly how I would of cut it in too, but hey what do I know :;):
Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:29 pm
Yeah you got to follow the curve mick but by cutting the blocks at an extra 5 degees they fit the space perfectly rather than gaps on the outer edge of the curve

personally i think it looks a cracking job
sadly once the frost gets in to those dapplelights they will blow but hey! the customer is always right
as i said mr.pink has a rather bling style all of his own

right my mistake, yeah I would of tapered the half blocks to give a 1 - 2 mm gap between each cut instead of the taper on the sand

Bloody hell, I appreciate the workmanship but thats gbh to the eyes. Mr pink, you must have the patience of a saint
