Hi Kieran
I like the 'grinding' idea, but on a job of this scale that means doing it to 625+ pavers!

Kerry,
All good stuff, all good stuff!
What I'm mainly getting at is do you lay them straight onto a type 1 sub-base material or do you lay an intermediate screed layer between the sub-base and bedding mix. When you say 'brickie mix' are you refering to a 4:1 soft (builders sand)/cement rather than 5:1 sharp sand (grit)/cement, plus do you add PVA to the mix as well (is the PVA on the base of the pavers neat or diluted).
I've had a look at your photo and it's hard for me to decipher the base construction as you have the 'red' sandstone type materials down in devon and we have white/yellow limestone sub-base round here.
Phew
Cheers



When I get paving such as the contempary stuff i often score it with the grinder to add some adesion factor, nothing worse than a slab coming loose in the middle of your paving especialy if close jointed!
