Pathways & Walkways

Hide that drab, cracked concrete on your pathway and make a truly impressive entrance to your home with HandyDeck interlocking deck tiles.

You just need a firm, even base such as concrete, bricks, pavers or asphalt. Whilst it's certainly possible to lay the tiles over gravel, crushed stones etc. its best to avoid a base of fine sand as the "feet" on the plastic base may press into the sand and result in an uneven tile surface.

At the edges of your pathway, you may choose to clip on matching edge transition pieces to both sides of the pathway to hide the plastic base and give a neat, professional finish.

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 is surrounding the tiles well so that the plastic tabs on the sides of the tiles are hidden and to prevent them from sliding when walked on.

And although it’s possible to lay HandyDeck deck tiles on firm soil, we don’t particularly recommend doing this unless an appropriate weed suppression mat or other suitable geotextile fabric is laid down under the tiles. The reason is that the ‘feet’ on the underside of the deck tiles could dig into the soil and create as somewhat uneven surface to walk on.
