Have purchase a load of second hand bricks to lay as patio. Started to dig up what I thought was a load of soil to find a thin layer of soil on top of pea shingle on a sloping concrete base.
Plan is to level out the pea shingle, cover with anti weed membrane, then sand before placing the bricks.
Guessing as it’s got a concrete base compacting the gravel/shingle doesn’t need to be as thorough?
Patio advice anyone?

Anything else I’ve missed?
