Need a bit of help want to lay a large patio area at my house have put down scalping base and compacted etc...now want to lay alicante marble tiles 400 by 400 - 20mm thick, want tiles to be pushed together tight as poss and wondering best way to lay them the tiles will be laid on a raised patio area tiles will be butted up against house then sloping away slightly towards a raised retaining wall the tiels will then have a 5mm overhang over the top of the wall for run off.
I am thinking I need to do a sand and cement mix to fix the tiles directly onto the scalping but not sure also not sure about the joints, do I use same mix to grout small gaps etc...any help most appreciated.
