ᐅ Which frost protection method is recommended under paved surfaces?

Hello everyone,

attached are two pictures of the frost protection layer that has already been laid on our future paving area. Is this frost protection size appropriate, or should I apply a "levelling layer" with smaller aggregate before the bedding?

I am concerned that with the larger aggregate, I won't achieve a smooth and even surface after compaction, and that the 3–5cm (1–2 inches) bedding layer might be too thin, causing the frost protection to protrude.

Regards,
Jörg

No, there is a step/platform in the house.
Yes, exactly, so 10-12 cm (paving & bedding) and 10-15 cm new frost protection layer --> 20-27 cm excavation.

But only if it is necessary for frost protection. If you think that this frost protection layer alone will provide a proper substructure, I would of course omit the second frost protection layer.
