I can get a picture of the blocks - they are granite I believe.
Basically they cut a channel a bit over a metre wide and 10cm deep. That got levelled and stamped down, then the blocks were set in (apologies for probably the wrong terms) a bed of sand/cement mix mortar and pointed. Then scalpings, then membrane, then shingle.
The blocks are about an 8cm cube.

They're about halfway through the little granite edging blocks for the path.
Looks like a really nice job.I don't suppose you have a detailed pic of the edging blocks and whatever they are placed on? I need to do some soon and am not 100% sure where to start.
