BEST MATERIAL FOR SLOPING GARDEN PATH
We want a new garden path made which slope downwards. It is only about 12
feet long. What is the best material to make the path out of which isnt
slippy, l would like to use crazy paving but dont know whether it would
besuitable as l am not keen on the paving bricks. One builder said you
dont need to put a membrane down to keep the weeds out, is this true?l
cant use gravel for the path as it would be my main path to the house and
we need to get the wheelie bin down it. also would it be better to havea couple of large laid out steps or just sloped down as it slopes down to about2 footat the bottom
Why not concrete your path you can have it what ever way you
want.Also there quite a few ways to finish it off.You can also have it in
one long path or you can step it,this way needs more planning.
If it slopes 2ft in 12 feet, that is a slope of 1 in 6, which
is fairly steep. You will need some kind of paving, as gravel would soon
migrate down to the bottom, as well as being unsuitable to wheel ur bin
over. Why not have a gentle slope, with one or two small steps halfway?
You could easily wheel the bin down this, & bringing it up empty would be
no problem. If the slabs are laid on mortar on a concrete bed, & the area
is excavated properly first, you won't need a membrane, but you would probably need one if they were laid on sand. There are lots of different kinds of paving slabs available, why not visit a builder is yard & have a look at the choices?
