I need to get a driveway built, The drive is on a slope and I would need to fill the space with a lot of hard-core. I was speaking to someone and they said, I could dump some old bricks to fill some of the gap. Could I do that? Would this make the drive sit in future? We are talking about filling 3-5 feet. I need to knock a wall out, was wondering could I dump the old bricks in this place.

Thanks.
The drive currently is lawned, I wouldn't need to dig up the lawn? I could just dump the bricks straight on top.

Any sulphate free hard core will do.
Remove any fertile or growing matter prior to laying hard core. This means dig off any dark soil usually the top 12" or so.
If you are making up 3-5 feet then you can dump some seriously large pieces of masonry down at low level.
Try and fill all voids.
You will need to compact in layers.
Got it wrong. old un
Well,well well, since you have changed your underpants mate, it has really made you quick out of the blocks. Took it out nose, becauser I was not being fair or helpfull. Matter of fact I was being bloody childish.

Know what nose, providing you could have kept up, think I would have been happy to have done a few shifts with you years ago.
