Rob, who laid them, tells me he used a dry mix of sand and cement - just strong enough to hold them. They will also be supported by the gravel, as it is well compacted.

The bricks are modern pavers.

They look nice bricks. One thing given my ignorance - how do they stop moving about? Are they cemented underneath or does the gravel stop them?

Hi Jane. Thanks very much for your kind comments. Glad you like it. The gravel and brick mix does help drainage, but you are right - this is back garden. The paving was primarily designed to fit the client's budget and taste. A bonus was that the gravel helped eke out the pavers that were available from a salvage yard.

I love the brick and gravel paving here. Does that make it drain better to comply with SUDS? (Or is that just front gardens that need to comply?) Anyway it adds a nice texture. And the green is restful.

Jane
