Any landscape gardeners out there?
Hoping to pick on the wealth of knowledge as I am a basic DIY'er.

Has anyone got the best solution/material for re-pointing a patio please? I've scraped it all out so its nice and clean, gaps are about 25mm deep and 15mm wide. I used Geo-Fix last time which was great and has lasted about 7 years with numerous jet washes.

Just wondered if threes abetter solution or whether good old cement is the best option.

Not got the skills or confidence to do the flow stuff.

Many thanks.

There are a few products out there but I always use Easy Joint.
Make sure the joints are clean then soak the patio with water and keep it wet. I tip the contents of the bag into the tub then full with water until it’s covered with about an inch of water. Fill grouts with a large trowel, run a pointing iron over it then brush off the excess with a soft brush.
Good luck🙂
