FAQs

What is the exact diameter of the Bowland Stone Cathedral Circle Kit?

This specific kit creates a full circle with a diameter of 2.56 meters.

How thick are the paving slabs included in the kit?

Each paving slab in the kit has a thickness of 38mm, contributing to its durability and strength.

Can I install this paving circle myself, or do I need a professional?

While it is possible for a skilled DIY enthusiast to install, due to the weight of the stones and the precision required for a perfect circle, professional installation is often recommended for the best results and to ensure longevity.

What is the best way to clean the Weathered Moss paving?

Regular sweeping and occasional washing with water and a stiff brush are usually sufficient. For stubborn dirt or organic growth, use a mild, pH-neutral patio cleaner specifically formulated for concrete paving, following the product instructions carefully.

Will the Weathered Moss color fade over time?

The Weathered Moss color is designed to have a natural, aged appearance. Like all outdoor materials, it will naturally weather and may subtly change in appearance over time due to exposure to the elements, which adds to its rustic charm.

Is this circle kit suitable for a driveway or areas with vehicle traffic?

No, at 38mm thickness, these paving slabs are designed for pedestrian traffic areas such as patios, paths, and garden features. They are not suitable for driveways or areas that will be subjected to vehicular weight.

Does the kit come with a laying guide or pattern?

Yes, the Bowland Stone Cathedral Circle Kit typically includes a detailed laying guide or pattern to assist you in arranging the various stone pieces correctly to form the complete circle.

Troubleshooting

Stones are not fitting together smoothly or creating gaps.

Carefully check the laying pattern provided with the kit. Ensure the bedding layer is consistently even and that each stone is seated properly. Small adjustments to the bedding material under individual stones may be required.

The installed circle appears uneven or has puddles after rain.

This indicates an issue with the sub-base or bedding layer preparation. Ensure the sub-base is compacted evenly and the bedding layer has a consistent slight fall (gradient) of at least 1:60 to allow water to drain away from the center or structures. Re-lifting and re-laying affected sections may be necessary.

Moss or algae is growing on the paving stones.

Apply a specialized patio cleaner designed for concrete paving, following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, scrub the affected areas with a stiff brush and water. Ensure good drainage around the circle to reduce moisture retention.

Some stones appear to be rocking or unstable.

This is often due to insufficient bedding material or improper compaction during laying. Carefully lift the unstable stone(s), add more bedding material, compact it firmly, and then re-lay the stone, ensuring it is level with its neighbors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Installing your Bowland Stone Cathedral Circle Kit requires careful preparation to ensure longevity and an even finish.

  1. Prepare the Base: Excavate the area to the required depth, ensuring good drainage. Lay a compacted sub-base (e.g., MOT Type 1) followed by a bedding layer of sharp sand or a suitable paving mortar.
  2. Lay the Central Stone: Begin by accurately placing the central stone, ensuring it is level and at the desired height.
  3. Follow the Pattern: Refer to the kit's laying guide or pattern to arrange subsequent stones outwards from the center. Each ring typically consists of varying stone sizes.
  4. Check Level and Falls: Continuously check levels with a spirit level, ensuring a slight fall for water drainage away from any buildings.
  5. Jointing: Once all stones are laid and stable, brush in a suitable jointing compound (e.g., sand or resin mortar) to secure the slabs and prevent weed growth.

Compatibility

This circle kit is highly compatible with a variety of outdoor designs. Its Weathered Moss color and rustic texture allow it to blend seamlessly with:

  • Existing Patios: Can be integrated into square or rectangular patio designs to break up uniformity.
  • Garden Styles: Suitable for traditional cottage gardens, rustic landscapes, and even modern gardens seeking a touch of natural elegance.
  • House Styles: Its versatile aesthetic complements both classic and contemporary house designs.

Care

Maintaining the beauty of your Cathedral Circle Kit is straightforward:

  • Regular Cleaning: Sweep regularly to remove leaves, dirt, and debris. This prevents organic matter from breaking down and staining the surface.
  • Washing: For deeper cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. A mild, pH-neutral detergent can be used for stubborn marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers, which can damage the surface or jointing.
  • Moss and Algae: If moss or algae appear, use a proprietary patio cleaner specifically designed for concrete paving. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Sealing (Optional): Applying a paving sealant can offer additional protection against stains and help maintain color vibrancy, though the weathered look is part of its design.
