I have a section of driveway that has a surface made of limestone

it is on a one in eight slope and when we have a downpour the finer
bits of stone get washed down the hill. I think the only solution is a
proper surface,
but what? It is purely a utility area so appearance doesn't matter.
I don't want to spend a mint on this. The area I would do is ten foot
wide by about seventy feet long. Asphalt or what?

For a hard wearing utility area I'd go for concrete especially if it
has to carry a regular load. Bitmac is good for a residential drive
taking mostly domestic vehicles with the occasional heavy wagon.

What the relative costs are I don't know.


Concrete is not a good choice if you put down salt to counteract icy
conditions for it causes the concrete to crumble away.

If you oversalt it does but just don't oversalt.
