[ladybuilder!!!]

i cant attach pictures, tony that would have made my life easier.

there is a small area in my front garden that i need to pave.
on one side there is some concrete on the other soil.

questions
1.should i remove the concrete and re do it with a fresh concrete there by including the soil area?

2.should i just did pour some concrete on the soil area saving myself the stress of removing the already concrete floor?

3.what next?mixture? etc basically 101 of paving

4.i see you can use block paving or slabs what is really best on a front patch?

5.can i pour sealant on both (block or slab)as i have seen your instruction on (resiblock ultra) for some shine....

You don't really want concrete under the flags. Best is to dig it up and start from scratch following the instructions in the main site.

There is a huge choice of surfaces out there - look around and pick whatever you fancy.

why can slabs not be layed on top of concrete? if it is nice and solid and at the right hight my patio has not moved an inch in 10 years and is on concrete.

bob---thanks for the reply, i read through the instructions and i think its all out of reach for me now... from the look of it all, its a lot of work doing PIC so i might ust freaking get some slabs and pour some damn sealant!!! since my attraction is the freaking shine!

thanks tony LLL the luck is close lol
