The two layers
Sub-base: Screened Granite - 20mm
$22.00 per tonne ex GST, at the quarry
Decomposed granite that compacts into a firm, even base without the stones of a roadbase, so nothing works up into the surface. Typically 100 mm compacted.
Surface: 5mm Washed Sand
$32.50 per tonne ex GST, at the quarry
Washed, so it's free of silt and clay, drains well and gives good footing. Typically 50 to 75 mm, loose, over the compacted base.
