Default How much foundation for a path is enough?

Hi,

I'm going for this look:

I just had a contractor come and give me an estimate. He insisted that
what is required is to dig six inches down and pack the opening with
modified stone.

I was hoping to just build up to the grade that I wanted with fill and
tamp it down. Here's what I have so far:

Do you agree with the contractor or will I get satisfactory results
with my approach?

Thanks,

Aaron
