Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Nov 22, 2020 5:58 pm Hi all
I built a house a year ago. Unfortunately due to the slope of the block we had large retaining walls placed on either side of the boundary of the block (above 1m in height). When our concreter laid our side paths he advised against laying the path up to the wall as he was worried about cracking due to the movement in the retaining wall. I now have approx a 100mm gap between my concrete paths and the retaining wall/fence, our neighbour has trees down the boundary of the fence and this gap is a perfect spot for falling leaves. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how best to fill the gap in order to prevent many of the leaves collecting on these spots. At the moment every 3 months I go through with a blower vac, but even with the leaves gone the gap is a bit of an eye sore. Sew pics attached.

Something Blue Metal will let it continue to drain as well. Follow my build here: https://www.instagram.com/ivy5custom 2 7528 Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that.
