That is clean washed rock. No fines in it. If you want compaction, you will have to buy a rock material that has fines in it. If you keep using clean washed rock, then expect to spin out every time. Washed rock is fine on flat surfaces, but not on inclines.

I realize the error in my ways
I'll scrape the #57 onto the road and come over top of what remains with some dense grade.
Have it all done before it gets cold.

Good deal. I do like that #57 rock. Real pretty and clean. We had to rock a sub station for the power company last year with it. Turns out a top notch job.
Down here, the go to rock is called sb2. Ground up granite in sizes from 2" and under. You get a lot of fines in it as well from the grinding process. Sets up almost as good as concrete in the right applications.

Not going to say it can't be done, but it would be simpler to relocate the 57 rock and lay back down new rock.
I would not recommend limestone anything. In our area, under a lot of heavy traffic in a short time span, or light traffic in a long time span, it will come apart and turn to dust/mud. Don't get me wrong, it works, and serves its purpose, but you will be replacing limestone after a short period. Granite will give you a lot more life span.

It's ok Bob, Ash isn't even considered part time here. It's like he gets drunk every six months and stumbles in here or something..... :popcorn:

Easy full timer...
Some of us stay fairly occupied at multiple endeavors....
But, look here, its only been about what, 10-11 days, and I've already made a return visit...
EL TATE:
And some short, burst-fire posts. Nice to see you Ash.

Ouch! That hurt, well not really. However, it is nice to se you stumble in here more often. BTW, where's those extra pics I was promised of the new casa?
