It may refer to a Roof less inner Courtyard of the sort found in Spanish -style Dwelling s or a paved area between a residence and the Garden . Patios are typically made of Concrete or stone slabs laid over a firm base. This base is often formed of a layer of compacted hardcore (stone chips), a layer of sharp sand, and a layer of Cement mortar. The firmness and stability of the base is essential to the robustness of the top layer of slabs - an infirm base will typically result in cracked slabs. Patios that hold a lot of weight, such as driveways, require stronger Foundations than those that are designed for light use. SEE ALSO |
