STEP 3
PREPARE BASE
The base of the excavation should be smooth soil, flat and free of lumps and
debris. Check the size and depth of the excavation by placing the AquaBlox
®
into
the excavated area. There should be approximately 6" between the AquaBlox
®
and
the soil. Add compactable material such as sand, if existing soil conditions do not
meet requirements listed above. The compactable material should be spread to a 4"
minimum depth and compacted.
