just had ton of sand and ton of aggretage which I am going to use for base for my patio. After it dries I will bed the slabs in mortar.
The patio will require quite long steps down from the house and I intend to use bricks as support for the steps. The bricks will be laid on an appropriate concreted foundation.
My question is can I use this sand as a mix for my mortar for the brickwork as I have just read that you require builders sand for this job. As this mortar will only be required for 2 courses of bricks is it essential that I use the corret sand.
Look forward to a reply
