The concrete between my paving slabs in my garden has started to break up. Does anyone know why? And is it an easy fix? Can I just buy concrete and miss it up myself?

It's usually caused by movement in the paving. Relay the offending slabs and re point.

I did mine with a bag of ready mixed postcrete. Brushed it in dry & lightly sprinkled with water. It's been in a year & is still good as new.

Probably frost damage, is it well drained, or get a puddle when it rains?

Hi guys, just in need of some advice around artificial grass, we dug up the garden last year as the previous owners had ruined the grass and we’re about to get it redone, but can’t decide between real or artificial grass.
