I’m going to need to build an all weather path to my new studio shed. There is about eight inches of loamy soil on top of a hard stoney layer. Water doesn’t percolate through the hard layer which makes the top gloopy when wet.
I plan to dig back down to the hard layer, put some shoring boards in, then in fill the channel with hardcore.
What should I use as a path foundation material? I’ve heard that recycled crushed brick and concrete makes a good cheap foundation, but don’t know where I can find it or indeed what it is called. I live near a quarry so I could equally get a load type of type one, rent a compactor, then put some gravel on top.
Am I thinking along the right lines?
