I think a lot depends on your ground Brian.

My patio just had a layer of sand thrown down, then levelled, with the slabs laid on top. If your ground is softer than mine, then you might need a more substantial base.

The beauty of laying on sand is that if, in a few years time, they have settled and aren’t level anymore, you can just lift the low parts and add more sand. Concrete them, and you’re stuck.

I did what John suggests.
Dig it out, put down some black plastic to keep the weeds at bay, then sand, then the concrete stepping stones.
Except I used bricks.
And I still have some weeds despite the black plastic.
Gonna rip it all up and redo it this summer.
I would avoid cementing them in.
Love….Jill
