    Hi,

    Just wondering what the cheapest "hard" surface to lay is? (ie not gravel, bark or stones etc)

    Pavers? Concreting? Something else?

    All suggestions appreciated!

    Thanks,

    PP

    Paul,
    one of the cheapest is "recon". This is essentially crushed up reconstituted concrete hence the name. We use it on our sites.
    It comes in the form of gravel and can be spread, howeve after a bit of rain and compaction, it gets really hard, like baked soil.
    Often used for stabilising ground prior to paving or bituman as well. This is by far the cheapest option, and doesnt look too bad either

    good luck
