I have a similar spot on the walkway to my shop. I have several inches of 
tamped  decomposed granite for the walkway. I put down road base on either side 
of the walkway where i would be driving over. It is low & I let the grass grow 
up over it. I haven't had any problems with it in about 6 years. 

Peace,
Pat

OK, this is a weird question, but maybe someone has an answer. It is only 
remotely shop related, so I'm sorry if this misses the mark.


OK, I'm going to be putting a walkway across my yard using this...
https://www.lowes.com/pd/QUIKRETE-WalkMaker-Country-Stone-Pattern-Concrete-Mold/3006097

What I plan on doing, is digging up the sod, putting down a bed of millings 
(maybe 3-5" thick) then the pavers (tamp of course). I will try to get the 
pavers just proud of the surrounding ground.

here is the question, this is a part of the yard that I have to drive over with 
a larger tractor and trucks occasionally.

I was thinking to make that section a little differently, but I'm not sure just 
how. Should I make a 'fake bridge' or a boardwalk section that I can drive 
over? Or, will these stones hold up?

If so, what mortar/cement mix should I use to make this work?

Thanks!
