I have a gravel drive, on an incredibly steep hill, that is getting chewed to heck by people driving up it.
I seem to recall something about treating it with calcium chloride or sumsuch to make it "bulletproof". Am I naming the right material? how is it applied? I assume it goes down AFTER i have the road graded and packed, but do I wet it to set it? Are there any precautions? (I dont know if this matters or not, but i live in an area that has great snowfall in the winter and a fair bit of rain in the fall and spring.
thanks
