Tile Garden Makeover: A Dream Come True

When laying the last slate tile on a patio, there are a few important steps to follow to ensure a professional-looking finish. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Measure the space: Before laying the last slate tile, measure the remaining space to determine the size of the tile needed. Use a tape measure to get an accurate measurement, and mark the tile with a pencil where it needs to be cut. 2. Cut the tile: Use a tile saw or tile cutter to cut the slate tile to the correct size. Make sure to wear safety goggles and gloves when cutting the tile. 3. Dry fit the tile: Once the tile is cut, dry fit it into the remaining space to ensure it fits properly. Make any necessary adjustments to the tile as needed. 4. Apply adhesive: Apply a thin layer of tile adhesive to the back of the tile using a notched trowel. Make sure to spread the adhesive evenly over the entire surface of the tile. 5. Lay the tile: Carefully place the tile into the remaining space, pressing it firmly into the adhesive. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the tile into place, ensuring it is level with the surrounding tiles. 6. Grout the tile: Once the adhesive has dried, use a grout float to apply grout to the joints between the tiles. Make sure to remove any excess grout from the surface of the tiles using a damp sponge. 7. Seal the tile: After the grout has dried, apply a sealer to the slate tile to protect it from moisture and stains. By following these steps, you can lay the last slate tile on your patio with ease and achieve a professional-looking finish.
