It is not wise to pour concrete
directly over earth even if it is compacted because of the
tendency of the earth under the concrete to settle. Settling
earth will result in cracking concrete. A poorly compacted
base most often causes cracking and settling of concrete. A
proper sub-base of compacted gravel is essential for proper
skatepark construction in all but the mildest climates. It is
recommended that skatepark construction begin with a minimum
of 4 inches of “¾ inch minus” (3/4 inch or smaller) crushed
gravel, which is then wet and compacted. A compactor or
“whacker” can be rented by the day or week from most equipment
rental companies. This insures a suitable base and will
reduce the likelihood of cracking in the future. The site can
now be staked out, and the space for bowls and/or obstacles
identified with paint or stakes and string line.
