Laying a Natural Stone Patio - DIY - PART 2 

I did a similar project down the bottom of my garden. had an 8ft by 6ft patch of ground that used to have laurel trees in. ended up with a tonne of mot type 1. a few paving slabs and 4 railway sleepers to make a raised patio and used a semi dry mortar mix. took ages. should have used your mix. really like your idea of water sbr and cement. i use sbr for sealing plaster for wall tiles and never thought to use it on slabs!but like you it was my first paving project. me being more used to my day job doing houses up on the inside haha! turned out nice in the end though! really love watching your progress on these videos! top man and a great family to watch! thanks. Marc.

Hi what limestone have you used please?

Looks like you've undertaken quite a lot of the same work I'm preparing for, we seem to share a love of oak sleepers, too. Looking forward to watching your back catalogue.

Im starting my summer project of an Indian stone patio, gazebo and log cabin plus re-sculpting the garden. Anyway I digress, I'm struggling to find out the m2 coverage for the pointing tubs. My patio will be 24m2, how many tubs would that be? Cheers Loving the path you did with the sets.

I have just purchased limestone slabs and the provider says we must use white cement. What is your base mix please?

Hi - really love all of the vids and so glad I've discovered them. We're two and a half years into a full house refurb and lots still left to do on all fronts. For the patio build I'm struggling to get my head around a few elements - 1) how do you plan in the drainage fall? Is the gradient designed into the sub base? 2) (and I think i know the answer here!) is a mortar bed the way to go or is a sand base on top of the hardcore ok? I've never mixed or worked with mortar so I'm not feeling too confident with that part. Final question in relation to part 1 - how do you plan in the corner stones to mount the timber frame on. I know you mention the concrete slab they are sat on but I simply cannot get my head around using the plumb line. Keep up the great work, really amazing stuff.

Lovely job. Where did you get your limestone slabs please?

You need some lessons from Tidybricks landscaping 😉

Where did you get your natural stones from?

That’s a better mix for the second half

Awesome videos, I've got a large outdoor project planned and am getting plenty of tips & inspiration! Keep up the good work :-)

What mix with the sharp sand and cement cheers

I have a few slabs loose and was looking for videos which use the SBR. Thanks for the video.

Lot of long lines wow .

hi. ive got my indian sandstone ready for this summers project. i was wondering where you sourced the oak sleepers and the finnish you used on them. TIA.

lovely job,great video

nice work bro

great video thank you, what was your base?

Which SBR did you use?

Hi, i just wanted to ask what your slurry mix is made up of, im doing a patio next year and i have always wetted the underneath of the slabs but the slurry looks a better idea! Great video! I have an old property (1875) and i have learnt a lot from your videos!

That is looking real nice! Good for you!

Where did you buy your SBR from, Who's brand? Thanks in advance!!
