Granite slabs - How to lay?

[belsteph]

Tony,
Excellent site thank you, we love a trade secret, this place is full of them.

Anyway, we are planning a large patio area and my good sister may have come up with not to be missed granite bargain. So, looking for advice on how best to lay them, what bed? and whether to have them butt joined or what to fill with? Also, thinking floor lighting, can these babies be cut through??

Was previously thinking trevatine but Fife's a damp spot and we are a bit concerned about durability.

Many Thanks,
belinda and Stephen

Travertine + damp = nightmare
