Afternoon Everyone
The time has come to put a driveway at the front of my house. I have dug down approx 20 - 25cm and am ready to put a base in. From reading online it says to use MOT type 1 @ 10cm - 15cm.
I will do some more phoning around on Monday to try and get some better prices but so far have only found MOT Type 1 for around £45 a ton. There are 2 local companies local who sell recycled MOT Type 1 which I believe is just crushed bricks, concrete etc and this is at a cost of £12 and £18 a ton, depending on who you use.
Has anyone used recycled type 1 before? Obviosuly the cost saving is quite big so if its just as good then I will go for it. Im just concerned that I dont want to put a new drive down and find it starts sinking in a years time.
ps. I have about 64sqm to cover. Any idea how many tonnes I will need to do this at 10 - 15cm once compacted?
Thanks
Greg
