Nice one, I was considering concrete on top of the subbase depending on the build up required, but you reckon it'll be ok going straight on the soil? It was my understanding that a subbase ensures even load on a concrete base but maybe that's just for high loads, this will be foot traffic only. It's fairly firm ground as I took away all the rubble filled crap, just needs leveling properly and the weeds killing off. I reckon I'm about 4-6" below where the slabs need to be currently, I need to get a grade rod and check.
