How do I clean the cobbles?

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Check the sub-base for adequate compaction and levelness. Ensure cobbles were laid on a consistent bed of sand or mortar if applicable.

Weeds growing through joints

Ensure the jointing compound was applied correctly and fully filled the gaps. Reapply jointing compound if necessary, following product instructions.

Cobbles seem loose or are moving

Verify that the sub-base is stable and that the jointing compound has fully cured. Edge restraints might be needed if the perimeter is not secure.

Color variation appears significant

Mix cobbles from different packs when laying to achieve a more uniform blend, as some natural variation is inherent in concrete products.
