In Reply to: gravel driveway Posted by: marc on September 18, 1999 at 22:59:23:

: 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

Marc
Calcium chloride is used for snow removal on roads and weight in tractor tires. I found a web site for Seneca Mineral that had somthing about using it for road stablization but did not have time to go further. Sorry but I have not heard about this process and can't tell you how to do it or precautions needed to work with it.
