Will it hold? Building a gravel driveway without a base layer-Kioti NS6010 & TR3 tractor rake
This is NOT the norm for building a gravel driveway or pad. Or is it?? Or can it be? Down here in Southern Illinois we are in red clay country big time. So there are some principles relating to building a gravel driveway or a gravel pad that can be used to save money on a gravel drive. The standard if you ask most excavators is you'd use large stone as a base layer, and then small stone on top. Some use road fabric and some do not. When we built our near mile long gravel driveway and new home gravel pad I had many conversations with our excavator, who's had probably 45 years of experience building government projects, DNR projects, and building public roads as well. There are pro's and con's to every method. If you can get your drive good and compacted and shaped to remove water (either a crown in the middle, or the water runs across the road on an incline from one side to the other) then your gravel will dry quickly after a rain and greatly reduce the chances of the dirt pumping from your vehicles. Culvert pipes are also a must to keep your gravel road dry. But even still you don't want any 'flat' spots where water just soaks in through your gravel. Ideally a layer of base stone and then 6 inches of small stone is what most excavators would do or recommend. But in this case I did not think that was necessary since we already had a pre existing 'rough' gravel drive and 2 years of machines driving over it and compacting it. Today I'll be using my KIOTI NS6010 and ABI Attachments TR3 tractor rake to get this new gravel drive and gravel pad completed. Thanks for joining us today!
