The best way is to dig a 70 cm channel and fill with hardcore and then create a concrete base for the paving.

Wayne · Answer

Use a good mot/crushed stone compacted in layers, you may also want to use a solid edging to keep the new base intact and stop the spread on the edges.

200 ml of type one mot it’s got the strength you need and it’s a lot more better to get a spot on level and compacts very tight
