Subject: Re: Building a driveway on geotextile fabric...what gravel?



Triplett / Brunswick MO / Brookfield
I would remove the top soil and replace it with clay. I would raise the road bed higher than the ajacent ground............Why waiste good top soil, especially when it makes a poor base..........................At our old dealership we had several acres of lot with a 3" base under 1" surface rock. WE HATED the 3" BASE. Did I mention, that we hated the three inch base? Our lot stayed in very good shape as for as being hard; we spread 3/4 clean on it every once in a while. We had to be VERY carefull whe we would drag or grade. Even though the base was put down 30 years ago it would still migrate to the surface. Just barely grading it sometimes made a big mess. One more thing, did I mention that we hated the three inch rock?
