Hello,
I am currently planning to redesign the front garden (I have completely renovated a house and have risen about 10cm). For this, I first want to create an entrance platform made of natural stone ([nero assoluto geflammt]). Since the height from the garden path to the door threshold is 30cm, I need in addition to the platform slab (85x140cm) a step (30cm tread) that runs around the platform.
My plan is as follows:
1) Remove tiles from the existing platform (which is significantly smaller and only 20cm high)
2) Excavate soil for the platform extension 20-30cm deep (the soil has been there since 1980, so I think the soil is firm)
3) Fill in and compact gravel (or do you think I need a frost-proof foundation?)
4) Create formwork for the upper platform part and fill with concrete mortar, let harden
5) Create formwork for the step and fill with concrete mortar, let harden
6) Place natural stone slab (85x140cm) on the upper platform part with frost-proof natural stone adhesive
7) Glue risers frontally and laterally and complete the step as in 6)
I hope this plan provides a good basis for discussion and would appreciate responses. I am uncertain whether the slab can simply be glued onto the concrete analogous to a windowsill.
