silver sand gets washed away
 

I have some block paving that's on a slope. The slope varies from 1:40
to 1:10. When the rain washes across the area it takes some of the
silver sand. What's the way to stop this happening?

Move to the south east where it doesn't rain as much.

If anyone knows tell the local council who are now having similar issues the
next stage is weed growth between the blocks.
I guess it needs courser sand. anything really small and light is bound to
wash away. It all makes work for the working man to do etc, Planned
obsolescence and all that stuff.

Does the rain wash it out at the edge of the outside blocks? If so, a
vertical seam of clear silicone ...

I wonder if hiring a Chinook helicopter could help solve the problem.

When this happened in Barry, after a massive thunderstorm
all the fancy block paving in the town centre was washed
up into big piles of blocks, just like the ripples
in the sand at Barry Island.

Not as naff as a pile of blocks ...
