Paving Slab path

[russellm72]

Hi,

I want to lay a few slabs at right angles to my existing path up to my shed door. I use my shed to keep my bike and the grass, especially with the rain at the moment, gets knackered with me trundling on it.

It's only about 5 ft so will probably only need a couple of slabs. My question is how do i create a stable base? Can i just dig out portions of the grass that the slabs will sit nicely into leaving a cm or so above the grass or will they just sink in time? Would I have to put down a hardcore or something?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Russell

for what you want to do if the grounds compacted enough the soil may be ok. alternativley you could dig out slightly deeper and put in a dry mix of sharp sand and cement and then place the slab on that. They wont move very far whichever you use.
