Maintenance problems?

5 years ago

Looks fantastic, but the reality is you'll be tracking in a LOT of pebbles as well as having to watch it constantly for weeds.

Actually the problem of tracking stones into the house is not as bad as you imagine. That's because the gravel is laid into a retaining system such as COREPath, which means very few of the stones move around and it provides a firm surface to walk on.

As for weeds:... they can take root in any ground including the gaps between paving, so no garden is maintenance free. Generally weeds will root loosely in gravel and so providing you don't leave them to become established, they are easily removed.

Finally there are also benefits of gravel paths. For one thing, they are often cheaper to install than other forms of hard landscaping and they are also SUDS compliant.

immihunk, not sure what you mean by "strong enough to guarded". Are you looking to do a roof top garden? What is your objection to wood decking? It is strong, lightweight and will make a fine deck surface that allows drainage. We've don a few with removable panel systems for cleaning and maintenance. I'll monitor this discussion and maybe you can fill me in?

Refer the sketch plan for details Its very simple and interesting, BED SIZE 6'6"x 5' queen size, with small 1'6"x1'6" size tables , keep the bed aligned to the door as shown in yellow dotted line, make sure the bed have round edges, as its a small room you might hit your leg while walking across. do a wardrobe in front full size 2' wide, or option 2 do wardrobe and a study at window side, about now about the aesthetics decor the wall behind the bed have a cushion head board at back side of bed. KEEP AC ON THE toilet wall itself its good to root the copper pipe to the service duct where you'll have your outdoor unit.

I am looking for Glass Hob, Vertical Glass Chimney and Built In Oven. I am getting mixed feedback across different forums so thought to reach here (impressed with some of the pointed comments so far). I am planning to choose between Bosch, Elica, Hafele and Faber. Can anyone please help ? I need to finalize it in next 3-4 days. I am purely going by the brand name (plus my previous experience with Bosch) so preferred the following 1). Bosch Glass Hob 2). Bosch Built In Oven (though it has aluminium burner but the one with brass burner 'Hafele/Elica' has the problem of making utensils black) 3). For chimney they do not offer 60cm Filter less chimney hence thinking to choose between Hafele or Elica. Please suggest if this is the right choice. Thanks in advance
