Thanks Danielle 😃

Good job mate

[@Renovation-Dan]

Thanks mate, so much better now it’s done!

[@benzamg32m68]

Very nice! Hated the wussy pressure washer, though 😊.

[@Renovation-Dan]

It does what it needs to do. Cleaning the slabs once per year and washing the cars. No point in spending money on a better one until it’s needed.

[@davidmannell6117]

I need to use hypo on my Indian sandstone, but I’m hesitant as the patio boarders grass and the wife’s precious climbing clematis! Out of interest, did it kill the grass next to path?

[@Renovation-Dan]

No, it hasn’t effected the grass at all. Just soak the grass and plants with plenty of water before and after and you should be fine. If you use a brush to apply it there’s less chance of any getting on the plants too.

@@Renovation-Dan thanks, Dan.

[@Renovation-Dan]

@@davidmannell6117 no problem. Depending on how bad the stone is, you might be able to go more diluted than 50-50. I could have probably done 4 parts water to 1 part hypo on mine.

[@davidwaller4646]

Apart from the grass, algae was the only other plant in the garden.

[@Renovation-Dan]

Not really sure what you mean 🤷🏻‍♂️ but I’ll stick with just the grass

@@Renovation-Danin the US we call a garden a yard. A garden for us has flowers or vegetables. They need to think a little smh lol

[@Renovation-Dan]

@@gcsugirl a yard for us is more of a small enclosed area usually at the back of the house. I call the part directly outside our door the yard because it’s gated separately from the garden. I wouldn’t be confused if I heard an American saying they were cutting the grass in their yard though 🤣
I assumed the comment was another of the people who think of you don’t have the amazon rain forest in your back garden/yard you’re a menace to society 😅
