I regraded my driveway by hand, sifted all the stone into 7 different sizes. I
have about 30 bags of screen size fines, I need to get the dirt out. I am
dropping the fines over the gravel I put back. I had to take out 12 inches
deep by 6 ft. by 20 ft. long, to get the grade to drop down away from house. I
don't want the dirt back in yet. I washed all the gravel.


I would use a garden hose but there is a lot of debate between a dish
washer and a clothes washer. If you use a dishwasher, be sure to use
the stuff that keeps the streaks off of it.


Clothes washer may be better because you can add softener so the stones
are not so hard.
