Hi there,
I am planning on laying some slabs in my back garden, and also in my front garden. Currently the place where I want the slabs to be laid is flat, and covered in gravel.
The area that needs to be covered is 47m2. A quote I have been given by a builder stated that I need 5 bags of sharp sand, 5 bags of mot, and 15 25kg bags of cement.
My questions are
1. Can I place the the slabs directly on top of the gravel (quartz pea gravel 10mm)
2. Do the amounts suggested for materials above (excluding the paving slabs) seem reasonable?
3. Can I use builders sand instead of sharp sand for laying patio slabs? My local B&Q is out of sharp sand
