Hello there, would appreciate any information and \ or advice regarding project am eyeing up. I will try and explain. The area is outside, not terribly large, perhaps 50ft in length, maybe 10ft in width. Currently its paved with paving slabs which look to be about 24'' x 18'' and basically they are an eyesore, a lot are cracked, they are all different colours, with no real pattern or design. I lifted the paving slabs to find about an inch of sand beneath them and now I intend concreting the whole area, bit by bit. What I need to know is what ratio of sand, cement , gravel I should use. Theres no weight on the area , no cars etc, just basically an area for myself and family. Also how thick should I make it, I guessed about a similar thickness to the paving slabs, but any advice would be great. Finally, is it possible that I could add a colouring to the cement,am happy to give you a ring if thats easier or also happy to chat on any of the messenger systems, many thanks, much appreciated, all the best.
