Why_Your_Driveway_Swallows_New_Stone
from Alliance Excavating & Stone Works · host John Muller
Most gravel driveways do not fail because of the stone itself. They fail because the base underneath is weak, water is trapped, or the driveway was never properly crowned and graded. In this episode, Alliance Excavating & Stone Works explains why some driveways seem to “swallow” new stone every few months and what actually causes potholes, rutting, washouts, and muddy conditions. Learn how drainage, compaction, soil separation fabric, and proper grading make the difference between a driveway that constantly needs repaired and one that holds up long term. If you are tired of wasting money on repeated loads of gravel, this episode breaks down the real problem most contractors never explain.Alliance Excavating & Stone WorksSweet Valley, PA 18656570-690-6297drivewayrebuilder.com
