Resurfacing Pathways and Walkways

Swiftdeck pathway and garden deckingHandyDeck decking tiles are an ideal way to resurface an existing concrete pathway or walkway. If you've got an old, cracked concrete pathway and don't want the hassle of ripping it up and re-laying, just cover the surface with our wood or stone tiles for an instant transformation. And if you're laying our SwiftDeck wood tiles, matching reducer strips are available which clip on the outer row of tiles to provide a neat finish to the outside of the walkway.

The only particular requirement is that the base needs to be a firm, even surface such as concrete, bricks, pavers or asphalt. It's certainly possible to lay the tiles over gravel, crushed stones etc. but fine sand can potentially pose a problem as the "feet" on the plastic base may press into the sand and result in an uneven tile surface. 

It's also possible to lay HandyDeck decking tiles on firm, dry soil although this is not particularly recommended unless the surface is smooth (not bumpy), well compacted and a weed suppression mat or other geotextile fabric is laid down under the tiles first.

Of course you don't have to lay a continuous row of tiles. You could simply lay them as "stepping stones" surrounded by compacted gravel for example. Just make sure the gravel surrounds the tiles well so the plastic tabs on the sides of the tiles are hidden and to prevent them from sliding when walked on.
