On my gravel driveway that goes to my shop, I drive over it a few times to pack the snow down. Then let it freeze and any future snow on there comes off really good with no digging into the gravel.

Keep the :peace: :cop:

I agree :smash: Around here that would be called a rock driveway. Gravel here is called Class-5 (C-5), and is a mix of rock and fines, the C-5 means it has 5% clay mixed in to act as a binder, which when dry or damp sets up like concrete with just a few loose rocks on top.

My stone driveway is actually #1 crush and run, at least that's what the driver who delivered it and spread it for me called it. It actually is not like concrete but stones that vary in size.

You guys are right about my driveway I just had this delivered recently. It is rock with little to know fines in it. The pictures are of the level spot in front of my shop. The rest of the driveway runs down hill to the road. Last time I had 2 loads spread with a lot of fines, more of a gravel. It did pack good, but any decent rain would wash it out. Our driveway looked like a creek bed. Easy enough to fix but over time all the fines washed away and didn’t leave much rock. This time I went with more of a stone. We’ll see how it reacts to the big rains. The problem is the drive way is bowl shaped, exactly what you don’t want going downhill! It would take quite a bit of fill to change it so I live with it.

I’m thinking the idea of packing some snow in the rock will make the difference. We’ll see!

That’s big looking rock Jeff. Hard to do anything with that. Ya wouldn’t want to get that into a snowblower. Or a mowing deck while cutting the grass on the edge of the driveway. Snowpack is the answer I’d say.
What about a set of 6” or so caster wheels mounted behind the plow, if there’s room, and have them adjustable for height. They would work while the plow is angled too maybe.

This is what the parts of my unpaved that has the rock dust or what ever it’s called in your area. Where my ranger is sitting was all grass years ago. Son and I took up the sod and and put this rock dust down. This would be 15 years ago. It has never moved. Never get ruts in it.

Rock dust / crusher run is a range in sizes material that with flat side and different sizes/ shapes "lock" together when compacted and stays that way . Stone with rounded side "marble " and do not lock together , which is great under foot but makes a lousy driveway in winter . So I found out the hardway :headbash:

I’d say It still looks great after 15 years!

Must have taken quite awhile to haul it in with that dump-truck in the picture! :78:

One load at a time Jeff. One load at a time. Hehe.

This massive dump truck was a project over been doing on and off for the last two weeks. A Christmas gift for my grandson and his father. The father has dump trucks and are that colour. But with out the decal. So I fixed up this rusty toy for them. Fathers name is Jordan. And grandsons name is Hudson. So that’s where the decal idea came from. A tractor buddie of mine in South Dakota does small decal things for a hobbie. He was into that business years ago. So thats where the decal came from.
Was fun to do.
