Paving Slabs

[joec1985]

I am planning to continue the pavers in the area in red to set my bins and a few other bits. I’ve never done any kind of paving work and was wondering the best way to go about this. It would be 9 slabs in total. My plan is to

1. Dig area out and level with type 2 MOT (I don’t think I will need a digger for such a small area)?

2. Compact area (I was just going to do this with a manual compactor)

3. Dot and dab mortar and lay slabs on top.

Am I missing anything? Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Dot and Dab gives you those patches that you can see on the existing paving

Nine slabs for a bin store? Just bed them on some sand.

No MOT required, you are storing bins not parking a car.

Dig out 100mm, 50mm sand, bed the slabs direct. But dabs tend to be easier for DIY
