do i lay sandstone on sand or mortar
We originally planned to lay the patio on a gravel and sand bed with the joints filled with sand. However, the guy doing the landscape design said we need to mortar the patio if we plan to use it for entertainment purposes, such as having a table and chairs on it.- Use a level religiously for the base layer and laying the rocks. -- Make sure you have a frame to contain the sand or it will seep out. -- Have a base layer of sand at least 2 deep. Flagstone rocks vary in thickness and you need the sand to adjust heights to get them all level.
