Hello,
I'm new to paving, basically I am doing a section of paving in my backyard as I need it cool to put on a new shed and have a nice FLAT, surface to enjoy, rather than the old concrete sinking and pooling water.
The area ( I will post picture ) is about 20 sqm, at one side a wall (not a house wall), two sides with soil, and one side that rejoins the present concrete slab.
My two questions are:
1. As the old concrete slab, about 1.5/2 inches thick, has come off fairly easily and the pieces are fairly crackable into smaller piece, say 20/40 mill and I have time to crack them, may I reuse this material, as said before actually crushed well as a sub base, maybe mixing it with the MOT1? To me it would be such a waste to pay to dispose it.
2. My question about the edge restraint is that, I need to use CONCRETE, under the soldier course, not mortar, Correct?
Thanks in advance for your answer
