Building up a gravel driveway and lots more! Full on Country boy video!

What happens here

Once the base is prepared and drainage addressed, begin spreading the new crushed gravel. The video mentions using a 'scrape blade' and 'box scrape' with a tractor to pull and utilize the gravel. For a garden path, this can be done with smaller equipment or manually with shovels and rakes. Aim for an even layer across the entire path, taking into account the planned final depth. Ensure the gravel covers the marked boundaries (as per Step 1) and any areas prone to washing out. Pay attention to creating gently sloping shoulders for drainage.

Goal: Distribute the delivered crushed gravel evenly over the prepared base and level it to achieve a smooth, consistent surface.
