I have a section of road in my bottom land that stays consistently wet and muddy. The ruts are about 6 to 8 inches deep, so not bottomless and I am never worried about getting my tractor stuck. But I would like to have the option of getting trucks down there. A truck would probably have to get on it pretty good to get through there making a mess of the road and truck.
Here is my plan. A buddy down the road got swindled into accepting some loads of fill that have tons of rather large concrete slab pieces about 4 to 6" thick. My plan is to run my york rake through the muck and mud to make a rather level bed for the concrete "tiles" and lay them together as close as possible to pave a road through the wet spots. I think the mud will almost act like mortar. I will fill the voids between the slabs with mid sized rock chunks to hold it all together. These sections are about 40' long and about 15' long, so not huge.
Any tips, tricks, warnings? Good idea bad idea?
