Contracted my Footers and Block work out to a well known Contractor in my area. No complaints...thus far he has done and accomplished what I've requested. Backfill is nearly complete, but since we required a little more dirt then what has already been delivered, I thought I came up with a good idea, by suggesting that he dig no more then 8 inches deep into the soil that lies between my carport, and the garage being built, and use that soil for additional backfill.
Now, I'm not so sure. For Pavers, have I gone too deep?
The Paver contractor whom I talked with a few weeks ago...mentioned he likes to use Blue/Gray CR6 Stone, and for his level base he uses #6 stone.
He mentioned nothing about a sand base, but I know with Pavers its a must.
The build up for the Paver build goes something like this:
Dig trench 8" deep.
Fill with 3 inches of Blue/Gray CR6 Stone, then
2 inches of #6 Stone, then
1 inch of Sand, then
the Paver at 2 inches thick.
Does this sound reasonable to you?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you,
John
