Reclaimed from other areas of the garden.

Laid the day before.

First slabs

Reclaimed again, this time from a previous neighbour who no longer wanted them.

End of first full day

Block pavings are laid on 'sticky' wet and strong cement while slabs are laid on dry mix.

Using the notched spreader

The dry mix was levelled with this and the slabs carefully lowered onto it.

All slabs laid

I had run out of clean pavias at this point so tidied up for a bit.

Completed path

Well, except for the infill for the gaps between the block pavings and the slabs.
