The amount of mortar needed for slabs depends on the size and thickness of the slabs, as well as the joint width. Typically, a general guideline is to use about 1 cubic yard of mortar for every 100 square feet of slab at a thickness of 1 inch. To determine the exact quantity, consider the dimensions of the slabs and the specific requirements of your project, including any adjustments for wastage. Always consult with local building codes or a professional for precise calculations.

How much mortar do I need for my upcoming project?
To determine how much mortar you need for your project, calculate the area to be covered and the thickness of the mortar layer. Multiply the area by the thickness to find the volume of mortar needed.

How much sand and cement will you need to lay 67 2x2 slabs?
To lay 67 2x2 slabs, you typically need a mix of sand and cement for the mortar or concrete. For a standard slab, you might use a 1:3 ratio of cement to sand. Assuming each slab requires around 0.1 cubic meters of concrete, you would need approximately 6.7 cubic meters of concrete total. This translates to about 1.67 cubic meters of cement and 5 cubic meters of sand, though actual requirements can vary based on specific project details and mix ratios.
How many 450mm x 450mm garden slabs do you need for garden area of 21ft x 19ft?
The answer will vary slightly depending on assumptions: will the slabs have a space between them, and will you be cutting the slabs to fill fractions. 21 feet is equal to 14.2 of the 450 mm slabs. 19 feet is equal to 12.9 of the slabs. To complete the rectangular area, 14.2 x 12.9 = 183 slabs.

How many slabs do you need for 14 sq m?
To determine how many slabs you need for 14 square meters, you first need to know the size of each slab. For example, if each slab measures 0.5 square meters, you would divide 14 by 0.5, resulting in 28 slabs needed. If the size of the slabs is different, adjust the calculation accordingly by dividing 14 by the area of one slab. Always consider ordering a few extra slabs to account for cuts and breakage.
How much mortar do you remove for tuck pointing?
Generally speaking, masonry joints are typically ground out to at least a depth of 3/4". If your mortar is unuaually soft or loose you may need to go deeper.
How many patio slabs 44 cm by 44 cm would be need for area 10 feet by 13 feet?
You will need 63 44cm x 44cm slabs to cover that area.
How many slabs would you need for a sq meter if flags are 600mm x 600mm?
To determine how many slabs are needed for one square meter, first convert the dimensions of the slabs from millimeters to meters. A 600mm x 600mm slab is 0.6m x 0.6m, which has an area of 0.36 square meters. Therefore, to cover one square meter, you would need approximately 2.78 slabs. Since you can't have a fraction of a slab, you would need 3 slabs to cover one square meter.
