I want to lay Hanson's Formpave Charters Pavers which are supplied in three sizes. I want a traditional look (as shown in the Formpave brochure for there cobbles) with 8-10mm joints (using a jointing compound) since it needs to suit my cottage. Can anyone advise on how these should be laid since laying on a bed of sharp sand I pressume would only be suitable for blocks which are tight jointed and tamped. :)

Thanks for the reply, I think I will be laying them like sets since drive already has tamped MOT down and cant go to much higher.

Regards
