The construction of a new garden patio using Marshall's Fairstone riven paving with a 3 ring circle surrounded with 100mm x 100mm Fairstone sawn and tumbled setts and pointed using Marshall's Weather Point 365

Before the work commenced


Remove the existing turf to the required size of the new patio




Lay 100mm type 1 MOT sub base and compact using a vibrating plate


The patio incorporated a Fairstone 3 ring circle in the centre of the patio, this was set out using string lines and steel pins to make it easier to locate the centre of the circle once the concrete bed was put in place


Each segment of the circle are laid in place and gently taped to the required height using a rubber mallet, a level is used  to check the correct fall


The finished Fairstone riven paving 3 ring circle laid on a full bed of concrete


The flags are cut to shape around the circle


And placed into position on a full bed of concrete


The Fairstone sawn cobbles are placed in the correct position on a pre screeded bed of concrete


Pointing the paving using Marshall's Weather Point 365


Any surplus pointing materials is removed and each of the joints are struck with a brick jointing tool then the patio is lightly hosed down

See how its done
