  Advice Needed - Gravel Driveway Construction

When I apply the wearing course, I plan to use a #1-stone. I was planning to spread this myself w/ a basic loader and letting it compact under normal use. Is this sufficient, or should it be rolled?

  Advice Needed - Gravel Driveway Construction

Generally speaking the better your start, the better your finish will be.

You will be able to get any competent dump truck driver to do a lot of the 'spreading' for you. The chains at the back of the box are to stop the tailgate from opening beyond a certain point. Any driver with much experience will be able to lay down a layer of material the width of the box at any desired depth AMAZINGLY well. They know how fast to drive with what opening to obtain a 2" layer, every time.

If the drivers are as good as my drivers are they can even overlap two passes, one per side, down the centerline for you and create the crown at the same time as they spread the material for the roadway.

Between the weight of the trucks and the equipment doing the work you will obtain pretty decent compaction from just the work being done itself.

Best of luck.
