I have an outbuilding that's about 100' from the road. In the wettest part of spring one can sink knee deep thru holes in the frost walking to the building. In less extreme wetness 6-8" ruts were common. I removed 12" x 10' of soil & replaced it with recycled concrete. Concrete crushed to 1 1/2" max with fines included. No more ruts. Even in the wettest season I can drive over it barely making tire marks. The second year I added 1" of stone dust for cosmetic reasons, uniformity of color & so lawn mower was less likely to pick up rocks. The recycled concrete was 1/2 the price of stone or gravel at the time. It's important to get angular material, including the fines. It packs much better than sand or river rock. MikeD74T
