Gravel Driveway

[forgeblast]

Make sure people can back up, AAA was at my house once a month for 3 months when I put in railroad ties. It appears my wife has a lead foot, and would back the mustang up on the railroad ties pretty often. I finally ripped them out. I would think about doing a curb, but then filling it to the top with gravel.

I put ties down to grade level on edges of my drive 37 years ago just cause I liked the look. Freezes hard around here and other than a couple that rotted and needed replaced, still looks good. Never saw one "lift" but the concrete pad in front of the garage does a bit.

Bigkrank, since yours has done well that long, what type gravel did you use? The railroad ties are coming from a friend at the railroad so they are free. I just have to purchase all the gravel. I was thinking all crush and run.
