Nice job! If you had the same patio that had steps at the end to a raised lawn, you used blockwork & tiled wall as a retainer, would you install aco's or just had a French drain, or nothing where it meets the steps/wall

High guys what fall did you use?

[@paulunkown6477]

Great work guys , could i ask do you recommend sealing the porcelain slabs once laid ? We’ve had ours done but the contractor who done ours used sweep in grout is that any good? Thanks

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Hi Paul, thanks for your kind words, your paving could be compromised with a brush in grout as the water could hold in the joint then the freeze thaw effect will ruin it. Good thing. is that brush in grouts are easy to remove. I would suggest re grouting, call me if you need.

[@AK-xu1fx]

Great video! Can you use this porcelain for driveways?

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Yes you can! but needs to be laid differently like a car show room like a tiling format on concrete.

[@vincehartley7572]

Excellent job, thanks for sharing. I’m planning on laying porcelain slabs in my garden. My plan was to lay the weed fabric onto the topsoil, 15cm of type 1, compact it all and then lay the slabs on 5cm of mortar. What’s thrown me is you’ve put a base of 5:1 mix down first then mortar then slab. Do I need to put the 5:1 mix down on top of the type 1?

Loved this patio and the end result is amazing... just what we are after. What porcelain tile is this and how much it would cost for a 35m2 area, including your labour? We're just getting quotes for similar but they are out of our price range. We are even thinking of trying to do it ourselves but when we watch your video, we know it will be so difficult as we're not skilled. Many thanks in anticipation.

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Thank you so much!

[@VV-yh3ni]

Hi, we have exactly 35 sqm area where we want to lay Porcelain with similar idea to the video. Did you manage to get some quotes? Did it work out expensive in the end? Thanks

[@annkelly398]

It was hard getting landscapers in to give quotes on our slightly sloped area so we've had to go with decking after all as the guy who installed our garden room was great with installing decking. It's only just underway. Paving would be our first preference but prices for stone and then labour was sky high. Hope you all get a better deal.

[@andreashavin]

JB would you recommend using a lighter colour slab when using Porcelain rather than Black/Dark .. as always a great job done and happy customers which is no surprise.
