Hello,

This is my first post to the forum. I've used paving expert for years to get helpful advice when specifying projects for clients. However now I'm doing my own project and I'm unsure.

I hopefully have attached an image of the build-up I'm looking to achieve for my lawn patio area. The reasons I have gone for this are: I didn't want to use concrete (environmental and practically); I want to ensure the separate materials are separated; I want it to be stable.

I would be really grateful if anyone could give me any advice or reassurance that this is a feasible scheme.

Thanks in advance.

do you have a permeable drive?
TBH it looks over complicated for a domestic job IMHO

or am I reading it wrong

Thanks lutonlagerlout,

I knew it would be OTT. I really wanted an alternative to the concrete used in this detail. The patio will be placed within the lawn and look a bit like this hopefully!!!

Cheers.

I think I can see what you are trying to achieve but give me hell if I'm wrong.
It seems your concern is that in drought conditions the strip of grass between the paving will die.

You must live in a fairer part of the country/world than me.

Unless you're a teacher and planning to spend the summer hols abroad I would get the sprinkler out when it gets a bit dry. If you are a teacher then I would ask a neighbour or friend to get sprinkler out in return for some duty free.
