[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 737938, member: 13410"] We generally grade up a mound where the tank will set. The pad should extend at least 10-12 ft to all sides of the tank. We then put down geo-textile fabric to cover the mound and then set the tank. We use 6-8" of mixed rock to cover the geo-t. here in ID it is just river rock we scrape up from the desert. In Missouri we could get lime screenings so we could get by with 4 inches of 2" base rock and then cover than with 2" of screenngs. That would set up almost as hard as concrete. For us the geo-t and rock is less than half the cost of a concrete apron. [/QUOTE]
