Reviving our patio

[HullabaLuLu]

I've noticed that our patio is looking very tired. There are weeds poking their little heads through the sides of the paving. I was planning to get dh to blast the weeds with the jet wash but what do we use to fill the gaps again?

Cement?

You could actually use it to your advantage and plant some small herbs in there, sprinkle a few seeds down the cracks, something like thyme works very well, and then you'll get lovely smell when you walk over them.

Is it cement? I had no idea. Thank you. Not sure its a job for me then.

I love that idea HeadFairy and if we were planning to stay here then I'd give it a try but we're hoping to sell in the next 12 months.

Sharp sand?

Thanks cornflakegirl, I'll have a look at that too.

We had the same problem and brought some geofix from a local DIY shop. It comes like dry sand which you brush into the gaps then leave overnight to set. Very easy to do you just need a small brush and a dry night.

Sharp sand but still suggest leaving some gaps and planting creeping Thyme etc, looks great and wont take long to establish.
