25 sqm area,hardcores all laid (4") & compacted , can I lay slabs direct to a dry-mix of sharp sand/cement (1:6) approx 2"-3" deep & sprinkled with water as my neighbour did 15 years ago which is still solid!
Why the need for pointing my patio slabs as they're smooth edged and butt together neatly which is a look I prefer to a grouted look ?..
Bearing in mind Im doing this for myself not as an earner so theres no 'comeback'...
Yes Ive read pavingexpert.com but they seem to offer conflicting advice as do most 'experts' Ive asked..[/i]
