Hello everyone ......... so my wife and I purchased our retirement home last year and like many homes in the country/mountains it has a gravel driveway . Nothing wrong with that but not ideal for the Porsche
and there is enough grade to it that it was very easy to spin the tires coming up the drive . It is a long driveway that goes in front and the back of the house making concrete or conventional blacktop too expensive . So I started doing some research on asphalt millings . Ground up road pavement that is fairly fine in size . Talked to a local guy that did grading for my man cave and he said it's pretty good stuff .
So today was the day , three loads of millings did almost all of my driveway just a portion in the back that isn't done . They layed down the millings from the dump truck , then semi leveled with a Bobcat . Once it was " close " they sprayed it with diesel fuel to help soften the millings . Then a 6 ton dual vibrating drum roller to mash it down
I was quite surprised how well it packed down . No it is not a true blacktop driveway but it is so much better than gravel and the price was very competitive . They did a great job leading up to the man cave the Porsche will go in with no problems . I thought you guys might want to know about this option if you are thinking about driveway renewal . Here are pics from today .
