Laying Concrete Kerbs

Reilly88 · 2011-08-05 14:22:48

I want to lay kerbs around my house. The origion kerbs wer poured and are now breaking up. I have the concrete kerbs got already and i think they are 8"x4". What is the best way to lay them. Should i put hardcore down underneath.? What ratio of lean mix should i use tp fix the kerbs? All i am afraid of is the kerbs sinking…

I want to lay kerbs around my house. The origion kerbs wer poured and are now breaking up. I have the concrete kerbs got already and i think they are 8"x4". What is the best way to lay them. Should i put hardcore down underneath.? What ratio of lean mix should i use tp fix the kerbs? All i am afraid of is the kerbs sinking so i think i should compact hardcore underneath. One wheel of a car might just knock them out of place if i dont?

Thank you

I think the norm is to just lay them in a damp dry mix - no hardcore ??
