I am building a new house down in the new forrest here even a small bush has a tpo and they are like mustard on builds that may affect trees.

Our new drive goues through some root sysyems so we are unable to dig down very far so I want to use some mesh backed 30mm granite to cover the surface, now whats the best material to bed these into and is there any preperation/product I can get the back of the mesh buttered up with to increase adhesion.

if you are going to drive a car on them you will need a 100mm cocncrete base min to set them onto, but are they strong enough to drive a car on? need to chek with supplier or manufacturer MSH :)

I would check if you can get the granite @ 40-50mm. As Msh said you need to check if they handle traffic
