1)Hi Tony I am having my front garden dug up on Tuesday but I am not to sure how far down I should dig I have been advised to dig between 10-12'' I have also been told that I will need around 6 tons of hardcore and type 1 I will eventually finish off the job with block paving.
2)Also I only have enough money at the moment to dig up the front garden and lay the membrane, hardcore and type 1 if I leave it like this will it be ok until I am in a position to finish off the job. Thank you Robert

For blocks paving, the depth of dig needs to be at least 200mm (8" in old money) below finished paving level. 250mm is ok, 300mm is probably over-doing it.
What's this "6 tonnes of hardcore and type 1"? It's Type 1 you need, not 'hardcore' which could be anything.
Anyway, once the sub-bas eis in and compacted, it can be left for as long a syou like before laying the paving. It won't come to any harm as long as you don't let it get full of mud or soil.
