Hi everyone,

I want to pave this area under my tree.

There was originally decking here, so the square section of soil beneath the tree is very solid and dry.

The ground where the manhole is, is soft clay soil.

I know I need to throw down a tarp to stop weeds, gravel, sand and then the pave stones.

My question is, can I just throw the gravel down on both different types of soil and level it? Or will the moist side start sinking over time?

We plan to put bark chipping 2 meters out beneath the tree as seen in the 3rd pic.

We plan to pave all the way out to the front of the shed where the broom is in the last pic
