Pavers over concrete patio?

Interesting concept. I would like to do something similar on aggregate concrete patio. Not sure of how this would work.

Looking at the same exercise here, and got written instructions from Firerock Pavers.

Scroll down, and they recommend grout on top of slab, no sand.

mortar set the pavers on top of the concrete and mortar all the joints. you need it to be water tight or its going to trap water. (what zappas said)

not sure on aggregate but i'd expect it would be the same. that look would be awful if visible though

I've done it. Glue outside perimeter with landscape adhesive. Use polymeric sand for the joints. The rain draining off the roof will cause you to refresh the polymeric sand every few years where it hits. Much easier than mortar.

Drainage is certainly a concern. I was not comfortable with the pavers being above the slab lines and above the weep holes so I left a 2 foot gap from the brick for drainage and painted the concrete slab. The patio already had the proper tilt for drainage and is completely exposed with brick on 2 sides.

Thanks for the replies.

What I am trying to do is raise the entire footprint of my patio to alleviate water pooling in heavy rains.

I installed a channel drain along the front (15ft) but on downpours it doesnt take much to back up.

That feeds into the terrible design of my yard draining down into my heavily sloped patio. I am basically dealing with a "V".

Had one of my very experienced contracting customers come out and inspect for a possible pour-over, but the hardi plank comes down too low to do it at a proper thickness.

I would definitely mortar all joints, I need this thing tight as shite.

So yall say use mortar as the adhesive for all tiles to concrete?
