Keep posting the pics of your progress as I always like to see a project coming along.

We can all make sure you are keeping on top of it as well

Little update.






All that's left now is the cutting in along the edge of the shed at the end.

Then sealer the lot of it

Is the Granite not going to be really slippy?

No mate. The surface is 'fired' so is rough.

The smooth granite is run through high heat flames which causes the molecules to pop and curates a rough surface.

Ahh cool and it keeps the shiny look hmm might look into that

Looks like you've done a really good job from them pics mate.
Are you doing the other side of the block with granite also?

Paving finished pretty much now. Just got to grout it with easyjoint in black.



Also got to get top soil and seed the empty side now. Then all finished

Cracking job @Rs2k_Rider , Well done, now for a bit of sunshine a relaxing chair on the patio and an ice cold beer !
Also great to see the involvement of another member who was only too glad to help, and so a well done to @neorage as well.

Ty @D 8 RCS

An we got 3 dogs ! Lol. That's part of reason for doing it that and I need a hard standing flat garden due to my worsening lung issues
Doing garden has almost killed me tbh. An I didn't do a great deal of the heavy work.

Looks very professional. I would be pleased if i had paid someone to do that quality.

You might be shattered now, but just moving on to the grass bit will seem like a break.

Keep the pics coming though, would like to hear about the jointing stuff also and see the grass going down, as i need to re-turf mine.

This is the grout jointing stuff.
