Hello all, I need some advice with a project I would like to do. I have a 10x10 shed for my torts with their entrance being a 5x3 square covered with 2 layers of clear vinyl stips for their door. Outside the door is a sandy loam that grows nothing due to the torts. During heavy rain the dirt/sand splashes up all over the shed and door and some erodes away. I would like to mix some sand and portland mix with concrete color and do a skim coat over the area to form almost a shell to keep everything put. Would this work? any other options other than pouring a concrete pad? Would the polymetricsand used for pavers work for this? I am trying to keep it natural looking without spending a fortune. Also if the portland/sand/color idea will work can I mix it all up dry, spread to the desired contour I'm looking for then wet? or do I have to do it the normal way? thanks for any input or advice. Forgot to mention the area I'm trying to cover is about 10x8. Thanks again, Mike
