Subject: RE: english please - question about base

 Dear Lynn,  In the Netherlands we use 15 inches of concrete debris ( pulverised concrete) and on top 2 to 6 inches of sand ( of good quality, not like the sand on a beach…) In a lot of countries the use stabilized sand, this is a mixture with cement. The most important is that the base construction is solid so in the long term the road quality can be guarantied. We use sand on the last few inches because the ‘’old’’ stones are not likely to al have the same dimensions. The sand does have the compacted with a compacting plate before paving the stones. If you wish more information please sent a picture of the stone and perhaps of the intended road. We have just finished 9 miles of historic roads in the east of the Netherlands, some pictures are on our website. I can also give you pictures of the surface below the bricks and how we prepare this surface.

 Met vriendelijke groet,
