Material quantities for a patio base

Posted by Katrina Hall, on
We are planning to build a raised patio at the top of our garden. It will be made up of 600x600mm slabs, 4 wide and 7 long, so approx 2.4m x 4.2m. The ground underneath is compacted clay, it's a new build so very poor! What would be the ideal base material, how deep should it be and how much material should we buy?

What would you like to do now?
