This is sort of a before and after. The first was my own attempt but the stones were beginning to sink.
This is how it looks now, with decking tarp under it to stop it sinking.
Any advice on how to make it look better?[/img] |

I see two photos no problem.
Too late now but here goes. You should have dug out all the topsoil and replaced it with a weak sand/cement dry mix and placed the stone slabs into that. By doing it that way then they wouldn't have sunk. The tarp will not stop it from sinking again.
Just out of interest, a path should lead you somewhere, where does this one go? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

lol it leads you under thel washing line so your feet dont get muddy. I knew we should have got cement but himself has to hear it from a bloke yknow
I might extend it to go round the raised bed actually (if we get cement!) cos you're right it looks pants at the mo |

I see Tagwex is trying to lead you up the garden path. You need to watch that fella, you know!
On the other hand, he does sometimes know what he's talking about. |

It's a good job MzG isn't building steps as well. There'd be no shortage of risers then! |

Even you have to run out of them some time.
I'm off to bed, big golf competition in the morning. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”
