How to crazy pave front entryway over Pebblecrete?

bidskiwi

We have a roughly 1.5-2m square section of pebblecrete at our front door. I have some pre-cut crazy paving I got which is designed for outdoors (slip rated).

Rather than grinding down the pebblecrete are there self-levelling products I could use to prepare it for the paving? Also what adhesive and grout types would I need to use please? TIA

Hello @bidskiwi

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about crazy paving.

I am not totally confident with a pebblecrete surface as they tend to deteriorate over time. I understand you are not keen to remove them, but when they do fail, they often fail in large sections, and this will affect the crazy paving you've placed on the surface. For a secure build, I suggest chipping away the pebblecrete and laying your crazy paving on the cement base instead.

For the adhesive, I would suggest looking at https://www.bunnings.com.au/dunlop-20kg-rubber-modified-tile-adhesive_p6650424 . For the grout I recommend https://www.bunnings.com.au/dunlop-15kg-mid-grey-wide-joint-grout_p0508303 .
