Can I install a new patio over an existing one?
Anonymous user 27/10/2026 - 9:24 AM
Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice. I have a patio in my backyard that's about 2m by 3.5m, sitting on a base of mortar and compacted sand. It's in pretty good shape, with no cracks or shifting. I'm thinking about raising it a bit and possibly expanding it to 5m by 5m. Someone suggested that I could just add 100mm of crushed stone over the current patio. Does this sound like a good idea? Apologies if I'm missing something here—I’m not quite sure what I'm doing.
