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? Bill |

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. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...
