    Tell us the scale. What sort of 'traffic' and even your budget.

    Low budget - diy if decent result can be achieved.

    Very light traffic at most wheeling the bins out or maybe BBQ in summer

    OK what you do is get some cement and sand. Mix 1 part cement and 4 parts sand. This will make a hard base. Pour it on the area and spoon over using a trowel.

    Let it dry completely. The it's you choice if you want to put slab on top to look better or leave as it is.

    The other option is to get a sledge hammer and chip it off with brute force. That means you're getting rid of it all then you can soil it over.

    On a bed of sharp sand. I'm surprised no one suggested that. 😄
