I'm wanting to build a small raised patio. I want it maybe a foot above the height of the existing ground.
Reading pavingexpert.com, it always talks about basically digging down 150mm or so, filling with MOT1 then paving in a wet mortar bed which I understand.
If I want to have a raised patio though, do I still need to dig down? Or can I just put the hardcore directly on the current surface? I want to minimise the risk of it sinking.
