    Crowning a stone driveway

    Hello. I've got 600 feet of stone driveway that raises 50 feet in elevation. Construction last fall created more washboarding. I've owned this place for three years and never had to do anything to the driveway before. I don't know how it was built/base, but it's not in bad shape. I'm...

    Drainage PVC (4") Under Driveway

    I need to run some 4" thin wall drainage PVC under our driveway which is paved. I am going to dig a trench for it say about 8" deep and then patch the pavement. My question is does it need support to protect it from crushing? My ideas if it needs protection is to run it through some 6" PVC...

    Clearing weeds in driveway

    I've been using Roundup in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer for years and it has done ok at controlling the weeks but I never have truly weed free gravel. Last year I didn't spray as an experiment and it's not all that much different (either now or during the growing season) than it would have been...

    5inch minus spreadability?

    I want to raise a section of our driveway (where it meets the main road) about 1ft. I'm thinking about putting 5" minus on the bottom and then 3/4" minus on top. How easy will it be to "grade" the 5" minus? I have a back blade and a crappy box blade (and a bucket of course). Or should I go...

    What is the best way to narrow my 700' gravel drive?

    The drive is a year and a half old and is a little rough, it was supposed to be 6" deep but at this point is only 2-4" in many parts. It is currently non spec ABC (N rock around here), we had always planned to top it with something a little nicer post construction. All of the contruction...
