[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 5648948, member: 4505"] The only comparable surface I have here is a round pen for horse training, but I am on sand and free draining. 3" down in a dog run soon smoothed over with the sand riding up. Would worms have done that? I had an area of heavy wear at the gate of the round pen. The man at the quarry advised a very coarse sand with pea gravel through it. That has compacted down nicely but doesn't get dunged on much. I use pea gravel inside a field shelter which will eventually become hard with the addition of dung. The whole thing gets mucked out occasionally with forks on the front loader, then more pea gravel (£15/tonne). So, maybe fairly large stones, then small stuff over? But drainage is the key. Water must be able to get away. [/QUOTE]
