I was looking for some assistance on new Patio Build.
Laying crazy paving for back garden patio/
Have dug a large hole about 30cm. (300mm). Patio are 50mm
I am putting in a sub base of smashed up bricks and also then some smaller pieces of fine aggregrate on top and hand compacting flat. 200mm of this.
I am then putting on top of this a layer of sharp sand or grit sand (same thing ? not sure) 10 parts with 1 part cement. 50mm of this. Do I need to wet this before or after mixing in the cement ?
I got most of this information from the paving expert site - but the site is very very detailed and difficult to relate to what I specifically want.
Is this too much for a back garden patio ?
Thanks
