Driveway repair

[Case215]

Not sure if this is the right fourm to post under. My shop drive way has a few pot holes. The whole driveway is old and year and years of adding rocks and the potholes develop. Would a couple bags of cement be the beat option to fixing these holes. What really needs to be done is to dig down and refill but not a option and also to grade the dirt on the sides but each side is not my property and would make a mess

looking at the standing water, you need some crown both ways or to the ditch side.
This looks like a driveway that could use some filter fabric and a dump and run of mini pack.

Would be good to scarify the whole driveway and add a load of roadcrush to it. You can't just put material in the holes. You have to work it up and dig the holes up to get rid of them.

Yes added 2 loads of limestone two years ago on just the front half and its back to being bad…problem is we are farmers and when we harvest its 7 days a week for 3 months straight rain or sun and 90-100k loads pass down that drive way for 10 days straight plus randomly threw out the season to repair tires etc but we got caught cutting out at the shop in the rain last year and really blew it back out…

Everyone is correct. Edges should be higher than grassy shoulder, rising to the center crown at 3% which is 0.03' per foot or 3/8" per foot. That way water gets off the road and haul vehicles don't be plowing thru standing water.

Being a farmer do you have a box blade with rippers, or a tiller, you probably have 100 tons of gravel under the surface this is my back dive I don't use very often every other year I reclaim it with my skid steer tiller

It looks like so when I am done.i didn't add gravel I swear
