A few truck loads of limestone chippings and a big vibra-roller?


I was thinking of dumping limestone chips on my driveway but I'd like it
to stay there. At present I have scoria which has bedded down nicely,
but I'd like something that looks a bit better.
The guy along the road has large limestone chips that shift around a
lot. Perhaps if there was a variety of sizes of chip it might bed down
better. I assume that throwing in some cement would be a bad thing?


Limestone doesn't shift around at all.

Not after a few 30 tonners have been over it.

It ends up like a section of the chalk downs, all smashed into a lovely
porous, but stable layer.

Trouble is, it doesn't in the end look very good, grass grows, and it
eventually wears out.

But for light use, its the bees knees.
