I was thinking of doing the same thing but instead of the entire surface, do two paths about 18” wide x 4 inch thick, and place rebar or a 4x4 wire mesh to reinforce it…. Also use straight Portland cement if the local gravel is clean enough. Might be better if I dig the 18” path in a bit so it’s not sitting on top of the existing lane…your in a tight turn so a 18” path might be too narrow. Well I’m interested to see how it holds up. A lot will depend on how stable the ground is under that new concrete…it doesn’t like to flex.
I have a gravel driveway as well and have a hard time plowing the snow. I want to get a snow blower but I know the blower will spit the rocks out. But I want to rent a compactor and get a bunch of bags of sand and cement. My driveway is more leveled than yours and I don’t have any hills. Our winters in Montana can be brutal and they last a long time.
hey man can you do more of there amazing vids please there so entertaining pleas make more please💯💯💯💯💯💯💌💌💌😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘 i want to meet you so bad in real lie
NO! DON'T DO IT. This is horrible when it comes time for maintenance. And yes that time will come no matter how much concrete you put on it. You are just making it much worse to maintain with chunks of concrete everywhere. Cut and grade your driveway once a year or fund someone that does gravel driveway maintenance and that can renovate your driveway with your existing gravel.
Cuz it’s quik set concrete. You don’t pre mix. Just water. But what he is doing will clump up and not be solid . Depends on amount used. I’m curious to see it now
Had a hole in a dirt and gravel drive way where a small tree was pushed out ( young pine about 15 to 20 ft tall). Couldn't keep it filled. Filled it in for 2 yrs and would still come back. So, got the idea to fill it with some dirt and poured about half bag of of quickcrete over then watered it down real good. Problem sovled. Reappearing hole ceased to reappear! Lived there for 8 more yrs before moving and hole never did come back over the time i lived there.
Purchase straight Portland cement, anything else is full of filler rocks, you already have the rocks. In Australia they use latex polymers for road stabilization, probably just floor wax tilled and packed down.
Not meaning to kick you in the shin please if you could invest in a better camera. The one you have when you move around it’s hard to look at without getting dizzy. Thank you sir for sharing.
@@bleumeanyontherampage2136 Because he has created like a half inch thick concrete slab over loose gravel that he is going to drive heavy trucks on. It will crack almost immediately and will then be loose large sheets of concrete.
@@Defender_Tom Yep. I'd get a solid surface. But given my 1/4 km long and steep driveway, and that we get snow, I'm ok with gravel. Solid surface would be a schit show when icy.
To fix my place that washes out on a hill, the cheapest estimate was $6000. I make less than $1500 a month social security. I sorted and place aggregates by hand, used fines made of cheap torn bags of concrete mixed with hand sifted limestone fines. A dumpster dive piece of 4" conduit for a culvert pipe. I pretended I was a kid in a sandbox. Never washed out again.
