Laying granite setts
Discussion
Evening, but embarrassing to ask as in the building trade but if I ask the driveway guys on site how to do this they will just want to come do it on a weekend and tell me a mere mortal couldn't manage it! Anyway, have bought enough reclaimed granite setts to do my driveway, after much reading I'm planning on laying on a semi compacted sharp sand bed and jointing with a sweep in mix. The sweep in is the premix and pre coloured stuff that's goes off when wet but doesn't stain, used it on my limestone patio with good results. Does anyone in the know see any problems with this method? Of so please let me know where I'm going wrong ta
Should have been clearer, we have 6f2 and type 1 well compacted from 8inches to 3 foot deep so plenty of stable ground to work off, not just going to lay sharp and then granite on top. Had started out looking at a dry mix but seemed more time consuming. If I'm honest it seemed a bit too easy just topping off with sharp sand and laying the setts hence the question. Cheers
