Installation
In accordance with the GRO code garden cobbles should be installed 300mm wide around all perimeters, including rooflights and rain outlets.
They should also be installed 500mm wide where there are building openings like doors, windows or opening roof lights.
Finally, cobbles should also be installed to a depth of 50mm or at least to the same depth as the substrate / plant layer.
To ensure there is no substrate in the fire break Harrowden advises the use of an edging product to provide separation.
