the seller of the house I purchased removed the above ground pool, there is a 17 by 26 feet opening that is about 6 inches deep. 221 ft3. There is a thin layer of packed down sand which has smaller rocks around the edge. I'm interested in filling and converting the hole to a patio.
What material would I need to fill the whole as a solid base.
Best Answer
3/4 minus crushed quary makes a great base for just about any type of patio. I use a plate compactor and have finished with pavers and poured concrete in the past with excellent results. I would caution not to use crushed river rock as it will not lock together as well and tends to move around compared to crushed quarry rock.
