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.

You can get on the phone with your credit card and have have as many
dump truck loads delivered as you like. In order to hold the finer
rock in place you may have to firstly put down some of the coarser
material you are seeing underneath. So just order some very coarse
rock to start probably one load. Then after yu have it where you like
it you can order the finer material which makes up the surface of your
drive.

To save money you can use a shovel and wheelbarrow. It will work but it
would be less work to rent a skidsteer or tractor to push material
around with. Also if you order just one load at a time you wil be sure
to spend as little as possible on material.
