Hi all
Going to be digging out for a new patio soon once my new retaining wall has been finished for a new patio. We are on clay soil and planning on digging 8” down from 150mm below dpc (current patio too high) for 5-6” hardcore and then, 2” laying bed and 1” natural sandstone flags. Is 6” too much?
As a balance what’s the mast cost effective sub base to use. I don’t mind using type 1 if that’s the best, but if there’s something cheaper that’s just as good I’m open to suggestions, bearing in mind I’ll need approx 35-40 tonnes of it
thanks
