Cheers Haggi.
Yeah I like those grannit sets. Think the customer wanted to keep costs down so they wanted shingle. Gonna turf the area alongside next week.
Thinking of doing a course on resin bonding and doing my mums driveway with resing bonded aggregate of some sort and bordering it with sets! Got alot on though, might be a while b4 I get the chance!
Every possibe way of cleaning paving!

To get sandstone to proper stick to the bedding a bond bridge needs to be used IMO.

Cheers guys
LLL I found that when the mix was too wet it sometimes splashed when I tapped it down and I had to scrape it out of the joints cos it rised up! What about adding 1 shovel of builders sand in with mix next time? Would this help with the bonding without reducing compression strenght too much or needing to make it too wet?
yeah I was astonished to see how much the colour came out in those flags when I scrubbed with soapy water and a wire brush in a circular motion. Took 2 of us about 4 hours though. Gotta be an easier way!
