MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Estimating your MOT Type 1
A 5 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 3.5 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
