Cheapest easiest way to build 16x10 shed base
I would like to lay a 16 x 10 shed base as heap as possible. The last year has made finances extremely tight. What is the best way to do this please. I would like to afford to hire someone to help me but it's just not possible at the moment. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
Why have my paving slabs become uneven?
In my garden I have some paving slabs, laid a few years ago, which have become increasingly uneven since then. The paving itself seems fine apart from some wearing around the edges. Does anyone know why this happens or how it could be fixed easily? Or even, if anyone knows how I can prevent this happening again in future? I have been told that adding ‘sharp sand’ beneath the slabs to fill beneath can help even it – or would it be best to re-lay the slabs with some new sand underneath? Thanks, Mo

Rendering garden wall materials required
Hi, Im looking to render part of my garden wall. It's not huge and I'm pretty sure I could do it myself. I'm just looking for some advice on which materials I should use and what the ratios should be in the mix. Will any sand do the job? Do I need to add any additives in? I know i'll need plasterciser but should this be in the final coat too? How thick should the coats be? Any advice would be appreciated.
Should I use Concrete or Paving Slabs in my garden?
