Hi Pat As Jeremy said. If your garden is particularly boggy you might consider a membrane between your scalpings and sub soil too. Around 150 mm deep scalpings for foot traffic is sufficient.
What is best base layer for laying chipping stones?

I am going to replacing chipping stones in my garden. Edging is already there, I want to know what is best option for weed control, hardcore with blinding layer or weed membrane?

I would advise a base layer of "scalpings" or m.o.t type1 which is stone and dust,compacted with a plate vibrator.Then a weed surpressing membrane,then loose chippings. It can be done without the sub base,but this gives a mucher firmer surface. hope that helps, Jeremy

Hi Patrick - It is essential to underlay your decorative garden stones with a good weed control underlayer. There is a lot of different kind on a market so the best solution is to visit any builders yard and they would advise what membrane to choose. Regards Rafal
