Hi Guys, our contractor ran out of pavers and said he could return to finish the job (about 2sqm) at a huge cost (needs to charge us a day rate)
I figure ill give it a go myself.
I watched him lay the pavers onto our concrete slab. he used a yellow coloured sand and dry mixed it with cement. That mixture was poured dry onto our concrete slab and screed smooth/level.
When he laid each paver, he had a plastic drum of just cement and water, a slurry mix that was poured onto the dry mix sand/cement and each paver/flag was rubber malleted into place
What method is this called and by which mix do I make the dry product? 3:1? 4:1?
The area is for a driveway.
You can see the area i need to do in the background of this photo. How best to get this area level?
Thanks!
