Please don’t jump me for being an amateur, but my very best lawn care/ mulch/ whimsical landscape customer now needs her driveway fixed because she just bought a new BMW, and the potholes drive her nuts. I’ve got a 5 X 8 heavy duty landscape trailer. She has a quarter mile long dirt driveway with some potholes and washouts. She’d like a price on fixing her driveway, but when I talked to her she didn’t know exactly what she meant by “fixed”. So now, I’m the professional, and I should be able to help her understand what she needs. I make roughly 25% of my revenue from this lady and stand to make some more gravy, but this isn’t something I’ve worked with other than what a foreman ordered me to do.
She has a dirt driveway, and I’ve found more ½ inch stone than anything else that you’d find in a stockyard but not an overwhelming amount. The driveway can’t be more than 3-5 years old. Should I fill in the potholes with shale or ½ stone? Again, this is not my area of expertise, so I don’t know what sort of stone went into the driveway, but it seems like a shaley, gravely sort of grey mix. What should I suggest?
