Tiling my front porch

[chetwyn]

Hi Guys


I was wondering if I could get some guidance for tiling my front porch. As seen in the pictures the existing porch as got some sort of pebbly surface. Prior to tiling do I need to level it? How deep should I dig the flower bed down?

:welcome: The pebbles will need removing first (small jackmammer works best) then there will be a coating that needs removing (grinder) hope this helps

All the pebbles are stuck down really well - is there any possibility to tile over it?

Not something i would recommend sorry
