Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These setts require a properly prepared sub-base to ensure stability and longevity. This typically involves excavation, laying and compacting a layer of MOT Type 1 aggregate, and then a bedding layer of sand or grit. Lay the setts on this bedding layer, ensuring consistent joint spacing. For driveways, a robust sub-base is crucial.
Compatibility:
The Marshalls Fairstone Setts are compatible with most standard landscaping and paving practices. They can be used independently or in conjunction with other Marshalls paving products. Ensure adequate drainage is considered in the design.
Care:
To maintain their appearance, regular sweeping to remove debris is recommended. For cleaning, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the natural stone surface. In areas prone to moss or algae, a specific stone cleaner might be necessary. Re-sanding of joints may be required periodically.
