I am redoing the patio and a walkway this spring/summer. And I want to do it myself, (along with the help of some brawny nephews...) I was reading the other patio thread, and wondered if someone could tell me the basics of laying the patio.
ie. what layers of what, what layer goes first, I gather I must tamp between layers right?, how deep should I dig initially? And how do I figure out how much of each layer of material (ie screenings or sand ) that I should be getting?
My soil is loamy, with some gravel and drains very well.
Thanks! Janet
