I’ve ripped up an Indian stone patio and I’ll be re-laying it
I’m using SBR and cement mixed with water as a slurry and then I’ll be laying
The patio is on a curve and it slopes in both directions. There are 5 ‘rows’ of slabs as per the picture below
I’ve lifted the slabs, dig out the awful dot and dab mortar and left with the MOT sun base which is actually ok, just need to re compact it
When laying the slabs, I was going to work from left to right (slopes from front to back and also right to left) I am going to work in rows.
Esentiallly I was going to run a string line along the long edge of the paving slabs, running from one edging to the other edging. I presume by following the slope/height of the edging using a spirit level resting on both edges and the slab at the same time, is the way to proceed with this one?
