Hi All,

Deos anyone have any opinions or objetions to typical 20mm crushed
garden slate being laid on top of an existing hard standing area.

I know it will probably move around a little more than if it were laid
on a compacted surface etc, but will it sit fairly still and "work"?

I have a small terrace garden which is currently a mix-match of patio
paving, concrete etc and I would like to cover this in slate without
having to dig it all out!

Thanks

How well will it drain? Would it be possible to pull up some of the
more easily removed slabs to aid drainage?

The drainage will be no worse than it is presently as it is already
patio and concrete?!

Any clever ideas as to what i could lay on top of the present surface
to aid "bonding" and fricton to stop my slate scree sliding around?

Cheers

Bitumen emulsion?

It will only adhere long term to dry surfaces, though.
