thanks for an excellent website .
I have a large patio area to be done 44' x 30'. It is sloping towards the conservatory (18'9 x 9'4) which has a drainage channel around it connected to a gutter.
I have cleared the area to be done to a depth of about 6" consisting of topsoil and solid ground.
Flags to be used are B.S.Eatons 450x450 riven (450 off)
1) do i wacker plate the whole area down then add hardcore & wacker it again then add screeding 10:1 mix
2) is there a need to put down a membrane & where should it go
or do i just use a sand sub base wackered down with a screeding level on top
