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...

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!
