A lot of straight lines running through that patio. The mixed sizes look much better with the lines split every 900 max. Bit of a headache but end results are much better.

Loving your work as usual. Did you say 'inspector tray' over where the drain is?

Thank you

Many are using Indian sand stone for car driveways but using one whole mix under each slab , would you recommend it ok if enough muck under it ? Your so right about getting under the level to check it’s level

you should not lay any slabs under 50mm thick on a driveway and you need a much thicker sub base like a 150mm base that's compacted in 50mm layers, and then yes you need to lay them on a full 30mm bed of cement and also prime the back of the slabs with sbr mixed with cement to form a slurry, this makes them stick like shit to a blanket also stops any discolouring from salts and minerals in the ground. the mix i use is two buckets of sharp sand two home sand 1 cement. hope this helps as i have layed lots of driveways and never had any problems.

First time I’ve laid an Indian stone patio and made a fatal error of not cleaning the cement mortar off correctly. Consequently, the tiles have dried ‘patchy’. Can you advise how to remove it please? Also, what product would you recommend to bring out the natural colour of the tiles?

@@GreentopLandscapes thanks for the heads up. I called Graham, he’s a very knowledgable bloke and I’ve ordered a couple of products via his website which are very competitively priced. Let’s see how we go 🤞🏼

It’s not about the amount you lay in a day it’s about laying correctly ? Then why are there cross joints in your paving ?

Those cross joints have got me in trouble that was a while back before I knew about them though they are not a British standard but I promise not to put them in again.

@@truelandman9336 It's cos your eyes are drawn to crosses or at least their intersection. I use sketchup to plan and avoid them and straights over 4 slabs. A bit of nerd time saves a lot of faff time.

l like how you lay the tile's keep it up.

Dear sir, I have just watched your rant about a customer who kept avoiding you. How can you possibly keep trying to contact him? He is not a customer ,just an ass-h-le . You must be really desperate for work.
