I’m currently redoing my patio. Current patio is slightly raised and appears to be made from just crazy paving laid on mud and sand.
To begin with I’ve dug a small trench to erect a small stone wall along one edge where the patio boundary was basically non-existent. This wall will only be a couple of courses of Cotswold stone. What footing should I use? The soil is still very loose (because the patio is raised) and I’ve dug down 1.5ft already. Do you think I can just add hardcore, tamp it down, and then mortar in the courses directly onto it? Or do I need to add a concrete base. Thanks.
