Hi

Thanks for that... the problem is it is purely sand - what depth would be recommended to dig down to, say if i dug down 6 inches and put 3-4 inches of crushed concrete would that give me a suitable sub base?

Thanks

Gravel driveway on sand sub-base

Hi
I live in an area where the ground is mainly sand, i have dug out for my gravel driveway, but am wondering as the ground is pure sand (not gritty sand) whether i should just compact it all down with a wacker plate then put 1.5 or so of gravel straight on top?

Thanks

Simon
