| Had a winding path of the above material installed. Brick soldier course on either side of the slates with some space between slates.
Basically, I'm pleased with it. However, I was under the impression that some sort of stone dust would be used and when wetted down would harden. It appears the material is a gravelly beige sand which is soft, and I know this will be a problem with rain and feet, etc. I can gauge my gait to step on just the slates, but sometimes there are little ones here. Is there anything I can mix in with the sand to harden it? The thought of it being a litter box is horrible. I've already had thoughts of moss, thyme etc to fill in, but will they grow in the sand? |

| Moss, thyme, etc. will be happy to grow in sand. You may consider topping up with polymeric sand. |
