This page goes through the hows, the whys, and the whats about sub-bases and sub-base materials.</p>

Some talk of Type 1 or MOT, some of hardcore, and others of 804 or planings. What's best and what should be avoided? How can this maze of choices and muddle of options possibly be navigated? This page aims to cut through the mist and make things a little clearer.</p>
