Hi,
I'm about to consider laying block paving in my rear yard.
Currently the yard is solid concrete (about 3m x 3m) and I'm not quite sure the best way of going about laying the paving onto this.
Would it be best to dig out the concrete (bearing in mind I have absolutely no idea how deep it is). Or should I use it as a base and lay a layer of sand (how deep?) onto as a base.
I will be occasionally parking a car on the paving as I'm soon to be removing the rear wall to use the yard as a car-port.
I'm still not too sure if block paving is the best way to go, my other thought way go for basic flagstones but I wanted something that looked a bit more attractive.
Thanks,
