Re: How to prepre the ground for tiling outdoor exposed area

Hello @Sugar 

 

Is that section of your garden where you've circled in red just ordinary soil? If it is, you'll need to build a concrete slab if you are planning on putting floor tiles on that section. However, if you are putting tiled pavers that is a different matter and the preparation for the base will be different as well. If you can tell me the exact type of tile you're planning to put in, I can then provide you with the necessary advice.

Hello @Sugar 

 

Here are some step-by-step guides that will help you with your tile paving project:

 

 

My best advice is to measure the space very well so that you can clearly define the number of tile pavers you'll need.

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
