mitzi have you laid slabs on timber ?
or is it just an optical illusion
fair play you have had a good crack at it yourself
but i know a lot more skint builders than flush ones

used the raised bed as a guide to screed the lower section of paving
large concrete haunching behind the timber where the higher section runs over it all the slabs were laid on dry 6:1screed all the free edges laid on 3:1 mortar
i know its not a pro job but it was on a budget using what we had raised beds meant no skips to remove soil
original garden was sloped lawn with decking u shaped path laid on the soil so we used old decking to form beds first then dug up lawn into those
in one pic you can see a 75mm cement fillet where it buts up to the old patio which is up hill and down dale at that point so seemed the esist way to link it

for future refefence if the slab edges are tapered inwards from base would you lay then butted at the base to give smaller joints?i read somewhere on main site that slabs shouldnt but to allow ponting to bond with screed?
