I am preparing to sell my house and I had recently put in a back door in my basement and wanted to put in some sort of small patio so it didn't seem strange the door just opened to grass. So I felt a brick paver and sand was the easiest and cheapest but still look nice.
Seems like most of the instructions I find recommend a very fine gravel under the sand. I have some larger gravel and broken concrete cinder blocks from the I broke out to put in the door. I was thinking of crushing the blocks with a sledge hammer and using that as the gravel base but I doubt I will get the peices small like the crushed gravel I see in pictures.
My question is what will happen if I use a larger gravel than a finer crushed gravel? I am trying to balance economy and quality and trying to figure out what is acceptable.
