Gravel question

Bet it smooths your tires also.

. Yea - Newbury, it probably ground a few thousand miles out of them. It sure kept the "kids" from doing donuts and burnouts. It gave me a moment of thought - if I happened to go down on my motorcycle - it would be like sliding down a carrot grater.

Here’s what I’m seeing. I’m thinking about putting it down over a crushed concrete base if I can find a source.

They sell this stuff when it's too far gone for the Highway and Road people to use again. Price is usually more then it's worth, and once it's in place, it begins to fall apart rather quickly.

Around NE Mississippi about 8 years ago they got a bunch of money for improving secondary roads. One of the counties would send out a crew that stripped the top few inches of the old road and right behind it, then or the next day, would be a crew laying down new asphalt. Another county would send out the stripper crew and leave the grooved pavement for months. I thought a tire dealer bribed them.

What you show seems to be of uniform size and will not pack well.

It doesn’t make a bad layer on top of what is already a solid base. It has less dust and doesn’t get all gooey during freeze thaw. It does not pack down well and will scatter though.
