My frobt patio is made from old cracked brick pieces and is aged and some brick pieces missing. I want to put slate tiles in this area? Can slate be laid over this or must we remove old brick? Thanks

    I would think that removing the brick is the best thing to do. You'll need to level the whole area with a slight slope for drainage. You don't want puddles everywhere. And it would look better too.

    Be sure to pack down the ground that will have the slate tiles. You want a firm base for them.

    Good luck with your project.
