Hello dear forum,
we are currently planning the garden. Now the question arises whether we should have a step onto the terrace or go out fairly level.
We have a concrete slab that is about 15 cm lower than the floor inside.
If we were to make a step, we would place a prefabricated step in front of the terrace door and then lay the slabs in gravel on the concrete slab.
If we want to go out level, we would first have to put gravel on the concrete slab, then crushed stone, and then the slabs.
Intuitively, we always think that a step might be useful because of rain and snow. But everyone says that wouldn’t be a problem, no step is needed. If we have to add crushed stone, we have to lay the outer terrace slabs in concrete and can only lay the inner ones in gravel so that everything holds.
What do you think about this topic? What would you do and what should we definitely consider? We would be very grateful for your opinions and tips, as we unfortunately have no idea.
Best regards Ivonne
