| Comments | Less effective for controlling weeds than portland cement concrete. | Preferred placement behind curbs or with other edge restraints. Base design is important for correct load bearing capacity. Include soil sterilization under treatment. | Proper structural section and preparation is necessary to prevent cracking and subsequent weed growth. |
Proper base design and preparation is necessary to prevent cracking and subsequent weed growth. Matching color and pattern for repairs is difficult. |
In gores or other traffic areas cobble "roughness" must be limited, see detail. | |
