Gravel Driveway Repair

[The Evil Twin]

Don't dig too deep with the scarifiers right off the bat. Not unless you know how deep your top coat is.

Note: the more scarifiers/depth you use the more mess you have to clean up.

Don't put all of the scarifiers down. Just put one down and cut the wheel back and forth until the pothole base is broken up. It will likely take a few passes. The space between the scarifiers is likely much wider than the pothole.

There are a lot of videos/articles that discuss that you have to break through the hard part of the pothole.

I also agree that you probably have plenty of gravel if you did before. It doesn't really disappear in most cases if had a proper base to start with.

I know just about "Jack Squat" when it comes to gravel driveways, but I had to order some for our cottage and the lady called it 21 AA. (pronounced "twenty one double A)

Maybe thats a regional thing?

I've found it's called whatever the owner of the company delivering it, wants to call it. LOL.

Monday it could be called one thing, by Friday it's called something else.
