The grunt of the work will be in prep...you need to get rid of all black soil. You should dig to clay and then put 3-4 inches of gravel. Then 1/2 inch of sand for final leveling of stones. Compacting that area won't take more than a couple of hours, but it would be best to wet it a few times too. So take your time before laying stone.
