Hi folks

firstly what a great forum! I would like some advice recently ive had some builders fixing my mono blocking and i have found them to be using old soil from plants and then they have been putting the blocking ontop of that! is this okay to do?? i always thought it was sand thats used?

The monoblocking is very soft each time you step on the drive it sinks and bounces :(

Any help or advise would be appeciated
