[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1430856, member: 22236"] Can you dig it out and let it dry some, eventually? I would get it to as firm a bottom as I reasonably could and let it dry as much as I dared to wait. Lay you a geogrid mat in the bottom of it, then go with TG's recommendation. 3 to 6" clean, or at least 2"- 3" clean. Go with a foot of it at least, 18" will be better. Fill it and spread it out evenly, don't try to pack it down. Then come with a 6-12" topping of 2" minus to cap it with, and drive over that some to compact it. If it gets to moving around, get off it immediately and let it lay. With rain, then drying in the heat, that should eventually stiffen up, but be aware that a heavy load may break through until it's settled good. That would be my go to for problem areas without going off the deep end for major remediation practices involving area tile/drainage, if even possible. The grid is an important part of this, do not under estimate what that little bit of material can do for you. Without it, your brother is correct most likely. [/QUOTE]
