    Hi

    I am halfway there now with my low maintenance garden, just a few questions.

    My newly laid patio has moss and grass growing up through the gaps. How do I remove it long term.

    There is a section of grass about 10sq, can I put a double layer of weed membrane over this grass section then put the ballylusk on top.

    What is the thickest weed membrane on the market I need a good bit at least 50 m2 if I am doubling up. Any recommendations.

    Do any suppliers have beech stones and any ideas how much. I would like to use white painted ones for a section.

    Do replica railway sleepers need maintenance, I have put wood oil on mine as a precaution, any other tips for winter etc.

    Hi

    My newly laid patio has moss and grass growing up through the gaps. How do I remove it long term.** Clean out gaps and use rompox, a type of grout. But this depends on the gaps

    There is a section of grass about 10sq, can I put a double layer of weed membrane over this grass section then put the ballylusk on top.** yes, but best to treat a weed killer first. Dandalions will grow through.

    What is the thickest weed membrane on the market I need a good bit at least 50 m2 if I am doubling up. Any recommendations. **Protex or mypex

    Do any suppliers have beech stones and any ideas how much. I would like to use white painted ones for a section. ** expensive option. Expect to pay appox E 120+ per 10m2. Supplier dep. where you are.

    Do replica railway sleepers need maintenance, I have put wood oil on mine as a precaution, any other tips for winter etc.** Yes, lots. These are basically pine. Creasote or similar will work, but garden friendly???
    Hope this helps
