Outdoor - Repairing potholes on a drive
Required Tools: Digging Spade
Wear and tear, and weathering on a gravel drive can cause potholes to form easily. You can repair this simply by following the steps below. The same steps also apply to a monoblock or paved driveway; you just have to lift the stones first, then replace and level them afterwards.
- Clear the top layer of gravel from around and inside the pothole and keep to one side.
- Fill the hole with rubble of an appropriate size and then compact down with the back of a spade
- Top off with sand or dirt, compacting frequently, until level is the same as the surrounding ground
- Replace the gravel across the top, if required mix in some new gravel of a similar type and blend in with existing drive
