I live on a gravel road and have a circular gravel driveway. One side of my circle has so much weed coming through, and is considerably lower than the other side of the circle, so I plan to put more gravel on it this week.
A friend mentioned that I should consider laying the weed stopper sheets before putting the gravel down, to prevent the weeds from shooting through. Is this recommended or discouraged?
Question 2: I'm considering, after I put down the new gravel, spreading a bunch of the powder (U-MIX-IT) cement over the gravel and showering it with water. The hope is that this will give me a good solid surface. Every winter, I use a full-sized antique tracter & blade to push the snow off my driveway, so every spring I end up with more gravel on the side of my driveway. I'm hoping this will minimize that problem. Thoughts?
