Currently building a patio, need a bit of advice.
1) Dug out 10cm of soil for hardcore base. Due to the soil being clay based, I now have a swimming pool - water wont drain down to water table. Any advice before putting in hardcore.
2) Can I use building hardcore (brocken bricks,tiles etc.), and then put pea gravel on top of this, and compact it with a wacker plate.
3) Where I am laying the new patio, there is a manhole cover, any advice on how to raise this.
Any help or advice on these will be greatly appreciated
