Hi
I am laying a patio about 3.5 x 3.5 metres. I have dug up the concrete and attach photos - I have discovered what appears to be a redundant manhole cover as it situated an old flower bed. The plan is to lay 100mm MOT 1 base, 40 mm mortar and then the slabs.
I was going to lay over the manhole cover but think a tray may be the best / safest option and to ensure the patio level is the tray level.i will also have a slight gradient from the house.
This is the first time i have laid a patio - does this sound ok or am I missing anything. i was thinking of using blue circle slablayer - is that easier than using mortar?
