Looking to extend bind store / hard standing. Unsure on materials.

Hi Folks,

 

Our house has a bin store which was there from previous owners. It looks to me like it is some very fine MOT type stuff that has been leveled with the adjacent blocks and whacked. I would like to extend this further onto a muddy area behind it but am just wondering on the process / materials.

 

Appreciate your help.

Just dig out the soft soil - maybe 100mm - backfill with type 1, rake level, go over with plate vibrator, top up, vibrate again.  You could use a bit of terram type fabric before your type 1 if it looks like the MOT will sink into the sub soil.
