Blinding
Hello.
Can you use soft sand for blinding, filling in the gaps in brick rubble, or will this get absorbed. . I'm laying a raised patio with a retaining wall and would use ballast but I just happen to have a lot of spare soft sand. Thanks Paul. |

I am no expert but gravel will do nicely. Then use the sand as blinding. It is to shield the dpc from the broken edges of the hardcore. Thanks Michael. Could I use soft sand to fill in the gaps in the brick rubble as I have tons of it, instead of gravel. Or would soft sand be absorbed eventually into the soil beneath. Paul. |
