Need suggestions for limestone - driveway repair

57 stone is ideal but it's expensive.

Soil type?

Look up B-base or bahama base

It all depends on if the rock is going to sink into the ground. You might need a layer of geo textile fiber before you spend money on rock every two years

Pave it. You'll save money and aggravation in the long run. Because you're always going to be adding limestone to it. We've been doing it for years and years. Luckily there's 2 of us on the same driveway so we can split the cost but there's deep holes in it now so it won't be long until we have to put more down.

where do I get it?

you arent getting "crushed granite" unless you live in the mountains.

#57 limestone is most common...its the typical grey stone you see everywhere. it stays loose for a while but will eventually lock in after you drive on it (a bunch). you other limestone alternative is #610, which has alot more fines in it (dust), which helps it compact faster, but is much dirtier and not as pleasing to the eye

i just re-did my driveway with slag (byproduct of making steel), recommend you look it to it. its much cheaper than limestone depending on where you live, and will last longer

What about the crushed concrete? How does that do compared to the price of limestone?

how much would it cost to just asphalt that much drive way?







































ie how many cases of budlight do you need to give the Mexican road crew?

Just don't get tricked by the gypsy s...

Looked into concrete and asphalt and they're both too expensive at this point.

I'll check into crushed concrete.

Crush run, vibrated in, is what you want. It has a large % of fines, so it will compact like concrete. It's a different product than 57.
