Drive Way Covering

[Parm]

No it's proper stone!! We've got a limestone quarry in the village and I made that mistake in the first year I moved here.

That garden path has since been redone !!!

a builder I was working for re laid the drive with dolomite when it was -wet I-said I-wouldn't If -- I was u wait till it dries . he compacted it and all the water came to the surface and as u say went like a pudding.he gravelled it and even a week later it was going everywhere and all mushed up and couldn't be used .I just laughed at him and said told u so

Get caught pouring diesel onto the ground by the wrong person and a muddy drive will be the least of your worries.

That's a re- mortgage job just to pay the fines and clean up operation
Far cheaper to get a contractor in to tarmac it all

Now how much will I need and what is the recommended/optimum depth required? The area to be covered is 60 metres long and 3.5 meters wide

Never answered this first time. At that size a 16 cubic metre load will give you about 3" of cover (16/(60X3.5)). You would want to check with him the cubic capacity of a load but think their 16 metres. I would still go for a Terram or similar geotextile underlay. For the cost of what's needed to do that area it wont be much spread between 4 houses and it makes an excellent job on road jobs. Just my opinion...
