OK, I am about to pour my concrete driveway / workpad.
18' X 30' X 6"
current base is red clay, but will be digging it out and putting compacted rock / stone down about 8" thick.
I also know that few people in this area do anything for a base on a drive.
Now I have heard several explanations as to why the rock was so important, drainage, stability, etc. etc.
Can someone offer some insight or point me to a website of the why's and wherefores of a crushed rock base under the concrete?
Thanks.
