Well if like that...
Just concrete the whole place...
Worry free 👍👌

Or if want to tile, I'd use smaller tile since if there is sinking anywhere most likely the crack will be on grouting not on tile itself perhaps. Still can patch

Small?
30x30 okay?

Bigger tile = lesser grout line to collect algae

Polished surface slippery. Rough surface will stain with soil and become more and more permanent 

Conclusion...
NO TILES for garden 👌

the price will be ok if the range between RM2 to RM3 per Ft excluding materials. it should be cheaper if more work to be done.

a good quality tiles like white horse should cost around 5.50 to 6 for the 1 x 2 tiles, and guocera much higher around 7. bear in mind make sure the tiles is fully coated, not half to have a longer life.

which area are you planning to lay tiles? whole house or just the parch?

Why need to put tile there? If the foundation is stable like soil is not sunk on one side to the other, then nothing will crack. Why not just but pavement block like those on walkway?

Hi guys, my house is newly renovated about three years, from around two years ago, i noticed that my tiles will have loud popping sound at night, my guess is because i turn on aircon at night, causing contraction of the tile. Is this because of poor workmanship? This has affected my sleep as sometimes in the middle of the night it will pop sharply, and it goes on for a few seconds. Will the tiles come loose in future?

Thanks for your reply boss. I have not engaged a contractor yet, so will definitely be contacting you once the site is close to ready for viewing.

Your prices above include removing of old tiles as well? The area is around 1,500 sq ft and has existing tiles.

Thanks.

Anyone knows approx how much per tile for a 1'x1' tile?

Preferably 20mm thick with rough surface.
