    When pointing, you put dry mix between the slabs, then said leave to dry? Was there a step missing to wet the pointing mix after filling the gaps?

    want to lay a patio in my garden, but it’s all concrete, seen videos on how to do it. just need the motivation, and money to buy sand and cement and mixer.

    you create a fall with the pegs,but then when you compact it afterwards,surely you’ll very likely lose the correct fall ?

    What is the ratio of cement and sand mixed, may I ask?

    I’m confused at why we’re creating a slight drop with the wooden pegs every 1.5m by 25mm? Is this for drainage or something

    do you leave the wooden pegs in?

    5 parts sand to one part cement is that correct?
