Garden Hose/Water Supply

Application:

SAFETY NOTE: Please wear protective clothing including glasses for eye protection, a face mask and gloves.

1. Preparation

Soak the area to the point in which the flagstones/paving blocks are saturated, and remove any access surface water with soft floor brush.

NB. If you have a large area to cover, do it in sections. Only soak an area you will be able to cover – keep it manageable.

2. Dilution of cleaning

This is to be done depending on the type and degree of contamination. It may require 2 to 3 washings depending on staining. We recommend mixing the solution in a bucket or basin.

Solid Area – dilute the tile and floor cleaner concentrate to a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part concentrate, this normally suffices for ground in dirt, etc.

Heavily Stained Area – in heavy stained cases wash area as per ‘solid area’ directions, then do a secondary wash using 1 parts water to 1 part concentrate.

Concentrated Staining – in extreme cases use undiluted. Care to be taken using neat to not leave cleaner on surface any longer than 2-3 minutes.

3. Cleaning process

STEP 1 – Apply the appropriate dilution of “cleaning Mix” using the hard scrubbing ensuring each flag is covered several times backwards and forwards and scrubbing vigorously a flag at a time as you progress (a white soapy appearance should be seen over the flags).

STEP 2 – Apply more of the cleaning mix using the soft brush, working a section at a time using circular motion to work the cleaner into the surface as much as possible.

STEP 3 – Repeat step 1.

4. Allow cleaner to soak

Leave the flags for approximately 5 minutes.

NB. In dry conditions avoid allowing the solution to dry out, as this may result in permanent white staining on surface. In fast drying conditions we recommend this to be a two person process.

5. Rinse area

Using scrubbing brush working from an edge, rescrub the flags before or in front of the person rinsing off the cleaning solution. Ensure the flags are rinsed thoroughly.

A selection of completed works by AG

Ballintoy

Free Landscape Design. River Stone paving was installed in the sloping driveway, in the beautiful Ballintoy, for a contemporary look. A single row of Bullnose Kerb Setts was laid low profile between entrance pillars to provide a secure edge to the paving.

This is the end result of our On-Site 3D Design Service. For the patio area, products include our TerraPave flags in Rimini Ground and Regal Stone walling in Basalt. Surrounding the house our River Stone paving in Blackwater was used for pathways.

Private: Irvinestown

This design incorporated traditionally styled products - Manor Stone flagstones and Country Cobble paving - alongside modern products - Regal Stone walling - to create a fusion between old and new; just like the dwelling itself.

Lisburn

Country Cobble paving and Slate Setts have been used to great effect on the driveway and around the side of the house. While in the rear, the sitting area is paved with TerraPave® flags in Rimini Ground.

Omagh

Both the upper and lower paths and the pergola area features our Country Cobble paving in Cashel colour (2 sizes mixed in a random pattern) with a Slate single row as a border. While the patio has been laid with our premium TerraPave flags in Rimini Ground colour (laid in stack bond pattern) with Country Cobble in Slate as a single row border.

Orchard + Drone

To add impact to the main entrance, the entire driveway and garden path area was used using Country Cobble and TerraPave® Flagstones. To the rear TerraPave® Flagstones were also used to define the unusually shaped patio area which was finished in paving kerbs.

Waringstown

This project was based on a design by our on-site 3D Design Specialist, Thomas Harpur. Our clients wanted something practical and interesting, yet easy-to-maintain and centred around their love for gardening.
