I am trying to plan a curved path in my garden. Part of it will be straight (I can manage that) but then there is a 10-foot long stretch of path that has to have a concave and then a convex curve. These curves move the path two-feet out from the starting point then it is straight again along that different line (I hope this makes sense, I have never done a path before). The straight part of the path will be done in sandstone in random sizes (left over from laying a patio) - the minimum size is 300mm x 300mm. There are some matching slabs available at the builders' merchants in 150 x 150mm. I was hoping I could use these, for a contrast and to avoid me having to cut slabs - I have no cutter and do not feel comfortable to start learning how to cut slabs now, as I am not confident with machinery. Can I lay 150mm slabs out so that the joints are not too wide? How can I work out what the curve will be (2' 'shift' over 10' length)? I would be so grateful for any advice. Thank you. (I am a novice at this, but at 70 I believe that you are never too old to learn!) Snowychris
