Hi all, as you can see that I have started to remove cracked and settled concrete around the pool. I want to install pavers. This pool is old but not sure how old it is - must be 30 or more years because owner kid mention that she used to swim in it and she is around 50.
Thikness vary of current slab, 4 to 5" around pool parameter and 2" at the farest end.
I can see that original base has settled around 2" to 4" or more!
1. how much should I compact it.
2. I am thinking to settle this concrete in the dirt, use as base - is this ok? I will make pieces smaller than what is shown. 3. I have a small compactor to compact, see pic.
So question is that is my plan safe?
Thanks
