Default Patio Laying


"mark" wrote in message
et...
My proposed patio will be made with 450mm slabs. As it is at the back of
the house there will be no vehicles driving on it.

I have lots of sand and it is my intention to lay the slabs on a 100mm bed
of sand which has been dry mixed with a 1:15 cement addition.

Has anyone experience of this method? I appreciate that it is usual to put
a subbase of stone down first but that'll be around £300 extra and I've
plenty of sand.
