We have a Victorian terraced house & to the front is a small area approx. 14' x 5' which had a mixture of paving slabs & cobbles which have been down for years.
We are in the process of renovating & were going to replace that area with some new paving slabs.
After taking up all the existing slabs & cobbles we found they had been laid over another layer of crazy paving, which are all cemented in. The cobbles & slabs seem to have been laid on top with just a thin layer (25mm or so) of what seems to be a dry sand/cement mix.
Don't really want to take up the crazy paving, as we are having a problem getting rid of what is already dug up. Local tip only allow 2 bags of rubble per trip & only 6 bags for the year.
As the previous slabs have been down for years & the area won't be used for anything other than possibly a few plant pots (no cars, pedestrian traffic etc.) I am just thinking of putting another layer of dry mix down, levelling off & laying on top of that (the slabs no me personally)
Any thoughts?
