Evening, so I had a concrete pad recently done. When I dug the original site out - I went a bit wider as I wanted to get some 'good' tree roots out. Now the pad has been done, there are 2 sides where there are sizeable dips around the concrete pad (see images)
I was just planning on filling in with some of the soil I excavated, however should I instead fill with something else - e.g. Builders/sand to the depth of the bottom of the formwork then soil on top - material that can be compacted better/quickly?
I'm confident the sub base was compacted - (done with plate whacker + manual tamper)
Thks
