Product Information

One of the most impressive features of the EDGE is its clearance for tyres up to 50mm, allowing for superior traction and stability on any terrain. And with several new technical features, such as a beautifully crafted investment cast T47 threaded BB for easy internal cable routing, sculpted rear thru-axle dropouts for a super-smooth look and a single-side drop-chainstay yoke for extra clearance, EDGE offers enhanced agility and tyre options, making it the perfect choice for even the most demanding of gravel riders. Therefore, I malleted spikes and set a string line to match the shed for aesthetics. Then I could dig and tamper my trench as before. Tips We do recommend using a weed membrane underneath, as this will help to keep your gravel clean. Step 2:Putting your gravel grid together CORE DRIVE grids can be used on driveways that have up to a 12.5% gradient, Please see recommended grids below and their capabilities: For wider gaps, then you can opt for a 3:1 mix of sharp sand and cement. BUT, it's worth reading Paving Expert's opinion on how pointing with a dry mix often fails.

It’s no secret that gravel driveways come with some unique requirements for maintenance, even when they have been edged. From removing weeds, to repairing potholes in a gravel drive, they can be very time consuming to maintain. All you need to do is dig trenches along the edges and install them at equal heights. Most importantly, you can use exterior paint of your choice on the wood to match your property and extend its lifespan even further. Wood is fine for walkways. However, it is not strong enough to hold the gravel in your driveway for long because of vehicles. 2. Galvanized steel Then in sections, I immediately pressed the York gold flint chippings I'd bought by the tonne, into the mortar so it would permanently set like that for strength and it'll never look shy of gravel.As a company, we are committed to helping our customers create better spaces, and we hope that this detailed list of garden edging ideas will help transform your garden into that perfect outdoor space you’re hoping for. As the completed surface is used, small, loose chippings may appear on the surface. This is not in any way detrimental to the surfacing, but, if a clean and chipping-free surface is preferred, they can be swept away.

If you are looking for a budget lawn edging idea, this is it. If you want a more creative and colourful design, why not brighten your wood-edged design with a splash of bright paint? And if you’re after a wood appearance but with less maintenance, consider a woodstone paving option made of concrete. Then took it to the other end of the garden, and malleted in a wood stake to where I wanted it using a framing square held against the shed. And after wrapping the string around the stake nice and tight, adjusted the height unit it was level with the slight sloping paving using a string level. As mentioned above in regard to the compaction of the sub-base, using a vibrating plate compactor will be far more labour intensive, comnpared to a roller, as many more passes are required to achieve a satisfactory standard of finish to both the compaction stage and the watering-in stage. Roller lines can be brushed outThe gravel layer should then be laid quite thinly as a surface layer (with a depth twice its diameter). If it’s too deep, it can become impossible to traverse. If you feel a weed barrier is essential, it should be laid below the sub-base. Unlike wood, galvanized metal is when the cost is not an issue. In other words, it can be expensive. Galvanized steel provides two significant benefits. First, the gravel and grass separation will remain strong and in position for many, many years. Secondly, galvanized steel is malleable and can be curved to fit your driveway edges.

The final step I needed to do was point the pavers to give them strength. I created a semi-dry mix here (no water added), which was 1:1 soft silver sand and cement, which will dry a light colour. AKA, dry grouting. Also, I recommend having a plan as to WHERE you're going to dispose of your soil. A wheelbarrow is great for tipping it into flower beds or to a skip. You may want a few builder's bags as you might be surprised how much you unearth. Tamper As You Go Get some samples of gravel before deciding which one is right for your space and also consider the size. Larger pieces add more texture but are less restful on the eye and are harder to traverse. Gravel that’s around 1cm is ideal.The sharp-edge lawn design is a strong and bold look for any garden edging. With this idea, your edges are levelled and come with sharp corners. Sharp-edged lawns give off a contemporary feel with a smooth finish and look particularly great against modern new builds. Well-laid gravel doesn’t require a weed barrier, which prevents self-seeders from growing. ‘Well laid’ means the gravel should have a firm foundation or sub-base of hardcore, which is then blinded, or covered, with a thin layer of mill waste (finely crushed stone). This layer is essential to bed the gravel so that it doesn’t move around. It also prevents larger stones from the sub-base appearing through the gravel in an unsightly way. If mistakenly placed between sub-base and the self-binding gravel, it would act as a slip membrane, preventing the Breedon Gravel embedding with the sub-base, which in turn makes it difficult to compact the self-binding gravels properly and this would encourage the formation of soft spots and potholes. The self-binding aggregate must be spread with a lute or screeder board Due to the maintenance required to keep gravel drives in working condition, and the impracticability of gravel, many homeowners are choosing to turn to a more modern solution for their drives – a resin bound driveway.

After collecting stones for your pond, proper installation techniques ensure they stay securely in place. Here are some best practices when placing stones: Once I'd laid all of my stepping stones in the mortar and left them overnight to go off, I returned the next day to top the gravel up. Note, I didn't walk on them as it can take around 3 days to fully harden. Which is the Best Gravel for Pathways?At The Traditional Company we specialise in Gravel Edging for driveways, paths and lawn areas which can be installed by our professional team or delivered to your door for self installation. Gravel Edging is the perfect solution to stopping movement of gravel between your driveway, lawn or other garden areas. Made from solid steel our gravel driveway edging is durable, strong and flexible whilst creating an aesthetic yet practical solution to keeping your gravel contained and edges tidy. However, when it comes to haunching, the concrete needs to be capable of being smoothed or polished to a finish. Further, a wetter mix has a higher degree of self-compaction and holds itself together better, which makes it easier to place and gives a harder, tighter, more firmly bound finish than would be the case with a semi-dry concrete.
