Default Need advice about gravel driveway

I built a garage/workshop toward the back of my lot, about 150 feet from the
house. It is 28' X 24', and I keep my pickup in there as well as it being a
shop.

I had a gravel driveway put in from the concrete house drive to the garage
(concrete was too expensive). This was maybe about seven years ago. They
dug down about four inches and used base fill, on top of that they spread a
nice looking sandy colored material then sprayed it with a tar like
substance, followed with small rock. The driveway works fine except I have
to spray weeds in about twice a year.

Now, the rocks have worn off, pushed down, or something and there is quite a
bit of the tar like stuff showing.

I would like to add more rocks, but need something to hold them in place
rather than just have loose rocks on the drive.

Is this something I can do myself - if so how?

What do I need to do to fix it and control expenses to a minimum?

Thanks for any advice.

Bob
