Stones around the patio.
:wave:Hello!
A couple of months ago we laid a new patio and put stone chippings around the edges to fill the gaps and help with drainage.
When it was finished it looked cracking, but now there are leaves, grass clippings etc all over/ in among the stones chippings.
I have done my best to pick up all the leaves, but the grass clippings are impossible to get rid of.
Is there an innovative solution to this that i haven't thought of?
I've done my best with a vacuum:o, but it kept sucking up some of the stones too.
Any ideas gratefully received:)

If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed back out?:rotfl:

Have you got a leaf sucker/blower or can you borrow one?
You could try blowing the leaves and grass off the chippings and then going over the area with a metal rake.0 -
i use a leaf blower on low setting to clear my slate mulch of debris if its only grass clippings they would soon die of and be narely noticable then blow away in a breeze0
