You don’t need a full garden transformation to get on with bank holiday DIY – some of the easiest ways to make an impact are laying a small patio, creating a garden path, building raised beds, defining borders and adding decorative stone to beds.
Absolutely! Each pack contains a pre-calculated mix of flagstone sizes that fit together in a repeatable, professional pattern. When you want a more organised approach to ordering materials, project packs are essential.
For most home DIY projects, paving slabs are only one part of the job. Beyond the slabs themselves, you’ll usually need:
- Sub-base material: Usually MOT Type 1 to create a solid, level foundation.
- Sharp sand and cement: To create the mortar bed that the slabs sit on.
- Jointing compound: We highly recommend ‘brush-in’ compounds (like Joint It) for DIY projects; they’re faster and cleaner than mortar pointing.
Yes – landscaping sleepers provide a sturdy framework for raised vegetable patches or flower beds. As they’re heavy and straight-edged, sleepers are much easier to secure than traditional brickwork.
Definitely, decorative aggregates (like slate chippings, gravel, or pebbles) are a quick fix for garden DIY. They’re well-suited to creating a crunch-textured path or tidying up messy borders.
Yes! While we offer full project packs for large patios, our collection also includes individual sleepers, bags of aggregates, and smaller paving quantities for less labour-intensive jobs.
We certainly do. We deliver across the UK, but because Bank Holiday weekends are our busiest time of year, we recommend placing your order at least 7–10 working days in advance.
Ordering early should ensure your garden DIY materials arrive in time for the bank holiday weekend.
