Never go forward and back with a diamond blade, only forward. You will get double life out your blade.

Question
Do you always do a 1 eight of a fall with the stone
Is it the same with porcelain, limestone, sandstone etc?

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Hi 👋 for porcelain it’s different check out British Standards and to be honest falls are good but getting the surface water off the shortest distance is better so consider a camber as well

[@Sheldon_Frood]

Great work lads 💪🏻

I simply wouldn't trust brush in grout, ive yet to see any last more than five years.

[@GreentopLandscapes]

Yes but these flags are like block paving, same principles

[@paulf2529]

@GreentopLandscapes I hear you, I laid marshals cobletech to a drive way entrance about 7 years ago, I always lay a good sub base and compact with a diesel plate so no movement. That said the resin grout has not weathered well with minor weed growth and has disscolured.
I've also pulled up plenty of patios laid by others with resin grouting that has failed and alowed water ingress to crack it and pop the slabs., I really don't trust it, and the cobletech experience put me off ever using it again.
I've been back to a few Indian stone jobs I laid with sand and cement pointing and bar a few very small places the pointing has held up really well and absolutely no loose slabs although prior to slurry prime even 20 years ago I used to use sbr in my laying and pointing mix.

[@GreentopLandscapes]

I am at the same point now where we got a a 160n2 of lime stone and I feel that sand and cement will be the best option Paul mate. But I have t agree with you.

[@leecarbines6767]

Historic flag stones?

[@GreentopLandscapes]

That’s what they call them?

[@leecarbines6767]

Fair enough I thought you had done some historic flag stone laying

[@GreentopLandscapes]

I can see how it can be misleading

[@jc8023]

I guess your only following guidelines for a promotional video but rigid jointing on a flexible bed?

[@GreentopLandscapes]

absolutely mate
