Matthew, your job looks really nice. The true test will be with rain, snow, and torrential spring rains. I suspect the gravel will tighten up a lot over the first 6 months. It's probably already pretty snug where your tires run. I fixed a neighbor's drive last summer. He didn't have enough gravel, but I worked his grade so it had drainage away from his house and then put down his gravel. It was hot and dusty work, but we got it done over about three days.

Thanks Jinman. I'm noticing some areas are packing pretty good now that we've had some snow that melted into the gravel. Of course it could be that the water is frozen too.

That's why I'm going to wait before getting more fines for the current soft spots and a smaller roller.
