Hi Gerry, i laid decorative gravel on top of weed proof fabric which covers soil about 18 months ago. I am finding that with wet weather and footfall (last year!) water is pooling in the gravel and some areas are sinking underfoot. Should I have put hardcore on soil first and compacted it before the weed proof fabric and gravel was put down ? A pic of garden under construction is on my profile. Go raibh mile maith agat
