block paving on mud!

by domiles1 » Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:42 pm

I've got to pull some trees up, dig the roots up and I want to lay a block drive. How deep should I dig and what layers of what should I use before the blocks?

30-50 mm sharp sand again consolidate before screeding off,
plus depth of paving.
