We have a gravel (well limestone really) drive. It is in need of a refresh. We usally put down a topping of what is called #53 around here. It is 1 1/2 inch down to powder. It usually packs well and provides a nice look. Has to be redone every couple years.
We have a small pot hole developing. Right now a circle maybe a foot to a foot and half in diameter.
What do we need to do to repair that? I have a tractor with a bucket and a back blade. Neighbor has a box blad that I could probably borrow but I have no idea how to use it.
Does just filling the hole in with #53's and compacting that work? Should I get something smaller or larger to put in that hole to start with?
The company we buy from will deliver and spread the rock with their spreader truck. If we need to do something specific to that spot I will either need to do it myself or hire someone to specifically deal with it.
Thanks for any advice!
