pothole repair

ditto all other comments...

if ya don't have good drainage. (water running off the road way) and then. making sure water does not stand in ditches along the road way.

water standing on road and along side it = trouble no matter what is said / done. until ya get the water away from the road. it will be a constant battle.

slow it down, a driveway is not built for 100MPH going across it with your vehicles. a vehicle suspension can take a lot, but it can also dish out a huge punishment on the driveway, causing pot holes to wash board effects, to simply creating ruts.

soundguy, the soil is clay loam; on top of that is pit run which is rock straight out of the pit after blasting and / or ripping; the largest chunks are probably about 16" across by 3 " thick while most are probably 1/10th that size. After spreading, the road builder ran over it several times with his Cat to pack & level it with the treads. On top of that is 3/4" minus crushed. The rock is generally basalt; no limestone here.

The road is 23 years old. The pot holes are 12-18" across and the deepest are probably 3" deep.
