Hi, im wondering if someone can help me a little.
It looks like someone has removed some flags and filled it in to put a drive in the rear garden, Since then a fence has been put up so it can no-longer be used as a drive. Whatever it is its awful and its chipping away in places leaving a tripping hazard so i want to take it up and flag it. Ive watched all diy videos on how to flag but im wondering do i need to take the same steps or will it be different for me because im not starting from scratch. I will be using 50mm concrete slabs to match the rest, basically what preperation do i need to do? The top layer is about 2inches and underneath that is about 6 inches of loose little stones. Im a complete novice but im sure i'll manage it, it can only be better than before. Also am i best off laying a full bed of mortar under each flag or go down the 5 point route?
