Spent $60 on a cheap paver base and my patio sank 2 inches in 3 months

I went with that crushed concrete from the landscape supply instead of proper gravel base for a 10x10 patio. Saved maybe $40 upfront. Now I gotta pull up half the pavers and redo it. Anybody use something besides limestone screenings that actually holds up?

Ouch man, that sucks, did you at least get the crushed concrete for cheap?

Saw this happen to a guy I know, told him at least the concrete was cheap and he said 'yeah but my back sure wasn't.' Guess we both learned the hard way that free stuff isn't always free.
