driveway material - gravel , asphalt millings , ?
Our retirement house has a gravel driveway first one I've had in a very long time . Really nothing wrong with it as it is level enough to drive the Porsche on it . But it is fairly steep and with all the heavy rain we have had there is some minor ruts and some has washed down the hill . No biggie I will rake/shovel it back up with my mini front end loader .
But it gets me thinking of maybe a better material that won't break the bank . It seems like asphalt millings are all the rage right now around here . From what I have read on the net it packs down pretty good and sticks together fairly well making it more weather resistant to washouts . Any of you guys have experience with asphalt millings ? I can't afford concrete so that's out . Have not looked into conventional asphalt that may be a possibility . Any other products to consider ? The driveway currently is gravel the size of # 57 and smaller and packed down by years of driving on it .
I have also heard of concrete millings ? Not sure how well that would stay in place on the slanted portion of the driveway . Also the driveway does not have any borders on either side other than trees and lawn , was thinking maybe borders on each side of RR ties , PT 6X6's or stones would greatly help with the washing out . Now that I'm retired time is available but budget is tighter .
