Hi,
I am going to remove two raised beds which are located in a patio area. Patio area is level and approximately 10m x 5m and has half a dozen soakaways (not sure of the exact construction under the surface).
The beds are two bricks high and approximately 1.5m x 1.5m. They take up quite a bit of space, so I want to get rid of them. They are located on the right and left about 2m from the house.
I plan to just remove the bricks and soil to enable me to lay 100mm of 20mm gravel and then 30mm of sharp sand, with slabs salvaged from a path.
Does that sound sufficient as a base? Can I get away with 50mm of 20mm gravel instead?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
