I'm removing pavers and turning the backyard into a garden. There's quite a lot of pavers, at least 1000 (rough estimate) and they take up literally half the backyard.
I'm not sure how long they have been there, or if there was ever a garden there previously, but they were there in 2007 when I bought the place and it's time for them to go.
Under the pavers is a finely crushed rock, light grey in colour and the pieces would be 1 to 2mm sized mostly. This seems to be quite deep - I've dug down through it and hit rock, there not seeming to be any soil underneath at all.
My question is that I assume nothing would grow in this material? And that being so, I'll need to add a lot of soil? But do I need to remove all this crushed rock first, or can I just add soil on top and that will be OK? I'm wanting to raise the level a bit, so it would be a significant depth of soil that I'd be adding.
The photos explain it a bit better. The block slopes toward the fence. The back row of bricks is sitting on top of a concrete retaining wall which will be left in place.
