Help with gravel on clay driveway
wrote in message
...
We have a long gravel on clay driveway that is about 2 years old. It has
done fairly well until recently when we had a lot of rain & snow. The
gravel just got pushed down in the the gel/slime/whatever and the
driveway
got in bad shape in a hurry. This residential driveway has more traffic
than a normal residential driveway but it is limited to about 10-15 cars
a
day and normal a normal residential delivery truck (USPS, UPS, FEDEX) 2
or
so times a week.
I would appreciate any help with how to improve the driveway so we won't
have to frequently re-gravel it and then have it go bad in the next long
spell of wet weather.
Thanks for any help. (Is there a better place I could ask this
question?)
Consider using slag, limestone 57's, or berming gravel (mix used along
highway berms), on top of a good base.
James advice on using rip rap is excellent advice.
