Slabbing advice (over already slabbed/concreted area)

beenz69er · 7 May 2010

Hello people. I am intending to lay a natural stone slab in my patio. At the moment there is a horrible 2" thick grey slab with concrete patches in between (ex-council). Can i lay over the top of this and do i have to use sharp/concreting sand for the mortar bed? Is it possible to use building sand as i have this in abundance? The new slabs are natural stone and vary in thickness between 18mm - 35mm. I have about seven inches at the highest point to my damp course. Any help would be mightily appreciated!!!

This will get moved to the Garden section, but before it does, try searching that part of the forum for help in laying over existing slabs/concrete.
