How Deep Should You Dig for a Patio Base?
Base depth is one of the most important factors in preventing patios from shifting or sinking.
Recommended base depth (minimum):

Walkways / patios: 3–6 inches

High-traffic patios: 6–8 inches

Driveways: 8–12 inches
Install base material in compacted lifts and ensure proper drainage away from structures.
