Two scenarios may occur to you:
You have an old terrace or a concrete screed that you want to cover with a tiled terrace on pedestals. In this case, no need for preparation, your ground being stable and level.
You are going to lay your paving terrace on pedestals on unfinished ground. Ground preparation is essential. It will allow you to stabilize your ground and to perpetuate your terrace on pedestals. By stabilizing your surface, you make it more resistant to adverse weather conditions such as drought and heavy rain, but also to the passage of time which can cause your land to move.
The preparation of the ground that we offer is simple, quick and inexpensive.
- Dig 15 cm deep over the entire surface of your future terrace;
- Place a geotextile felt over the entire surface to prevent the growth of weeds between the wooden boards;
- Cover with crushed gravel;
- Compact everything to obtain a flat and loose surface;
- Check the flatness of the surface with a spirit level.
