I want to build a 2ft raised area in my garden, about 5m x 15m, which will have a barbeque area and an area fo seating.

Do I have to hard fill this area or can I make concrete foundations build up with concrete blocks, floor joists and topped with some kind of paving (creating a hollow void underneath)

What's the best way?

if you are going to pave it then it will need to be backfilled.

if you want to deck it then you can leave a void.
 
So I can buy hardcore/ton and fill it in?

Is that a cheaper way than using concrete blocks as the joists and filling in between with hardcore to get a level?

(S'cuse my ignorance.....not bad at internal DIY but never played with a garden before!)
