Raise and level garden.

Posted by Mr , on
Looking to raise my garden by approx. 60cm all in. This will not impact neighbours fences. I am looking to do this by adding 450mm of mixed hardcore/6f2 compacted every 100mm. Then adding 100mm of MOT Type1 where paving slabs will be laid. Is this best way or anyone suggest a better approach. Some have advised I should use broken floor tiles and thermalite blocks in the mix as I will be taking down some walls. Is this good advice or am I adding too much building waste? Also will the thermalite blocks crush into dust over time making uneven patches?
