Hi,
I have excavated some of my heavy clay for the purpose of making a path and patio. However, due to some circumstances I want to re-do and have the excavation covered up and back to the way it was. Can I just put back the soil I excavated? Problem is it came out in very large chunks so I would have to crush each and every one of them and some have roots from weeds embedded inside. Or could I use a paver base material to fill the excavation?

Hi Allenbassit,

Your post has received lots of views but no responses. I am not sure what you are trying to do. Posting pictures may help.

Heavy clay is difficult to deal with. Paver base may be your best bet.

Good luck
