- Mark Brown, Pavestone expert landscaper, guides you through how to 'set the right falls' for your patio or paved area. It is important to work out how and where rainwater will drain off your paving. Pooling water on a paved area is hazardous and will leave unsightly dirty patches.
Every project, you ever undertake, requires planning and none more so than laying a patio or paving an area. It sounds obvious doesn't it? Yet so many just start to pave. Planning and preparing will make the job easier and will show through in the presentation of the final project.
We hope you enjoy this Pavestone video from our "How To.." range of videos and find it educational. - Навчання та стиль
Great videos. Could you do a video on how to install aco drains?
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
i understand there has to be a slope for drainage. Hence the slope between the pegs.
But why then does the string between the pegs have to be horizontal? Surely that has to have a slope aswell?
I'm wondering this too!
Oh figured it out. The fall only goes one way, so the string line going in the other corner at the right angle is the level side :)
I thought it needs to fall in two directions or is this only in certain circumstances?
Where does the wood peg goes after?
Hi, the pegs were pulled out before the final compaction. Mark
What do you do if you’re laying slabs on concrete?
Watch a different video
If the concrete is good condition, then can lay slabs/tiles with mapei outdoor tile glue - works with indian paving too, but not with the big concrete slabs(council slabs).
Just to confirm 100mm substrate or ballast followed by 40mm sand then the width of the slab…
Is the width of the slab standard & how mm is it?
This was my interpretation. Thickness of the slab will depend on your choice, so probably best to select what slabs you'll be finishing with, then consider that thickness in the final calculation before you lay the base.
