Hi Tom, <br />In the UK hardcore is broken brick, bits of concrete etc. I used that to save money on the gravel and help with the drainage. After I cut out the grass sods I was left with a shallow trench about 2" to 3" inches deep, I bordered the trench with bricks set about 1" above the grass level and I threw in the hard core and then levelled it with gravel to the height of the bricks. My track is now above the level of flooding and is easy to level etc. <br />The grass is a bit long here, the top of the bricks is about 1" above lawn level. <br />[img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db34b3127cce91e142d6cd1d00000016108QbM2jJyxcO[/img] <br />This is gravel laid between flags, same principle but this track has been fully ballasted now <br />[img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db30b3127cce91fc11cccf2d00000016108QbM2jJyxcO[/img] <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
