MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.

• On busy streets in Gravesend, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
