@2pls

As potholes are driven over a cement-like wall forms around the sides and at the bottom of the pothole. If this “wall” isn’t broken down then any gravel put in the pothole either by grading , by hand or whatever is pretty much like cereal in a bowl; it doesn’t bind properly to the material around and can actually make it worse.

@tenaciousjoe

For visually impaired or just impatient folks:

1. With pickaxe, loosen gravel 6" around outside of pothole, making motions towards hole
2. With rigid rake, smooth lose gravel over hole and roughed-up area
3. Use back side of rake to smooth it out.
4. Stomp down on smoothed area, use back-side of rake again.

I watched a ton of videos on how to fix a gravel driveway with a tractor and a box blade or land plane. I couldn’t grasp the concept of what was being done. This simple video, showing how it’s done by hand, immediately caused a light bulb to off on in my head, instantly driving the concept home. All the machines are doing is what he’s doing by hand: that is, breaking up the gravel in and around the pothole and adding in gravel so that it becomes apart of the material instead of dumping rocks into what is basically a bowl, which the tires of a vehicle will spit out in a week. The tractors simply do what he did, but on a larger level, fixing many holes in longer driveways. Thanks for driving the point home for me. This is how things should be explained.

@bolo-mh1ig

Bo żwir z tej dziury nie znika i nie jest wciskany pod ziemię on jest wychlapywany wraz z wodę wokół dziury w miarę jak powiększa się kałuża. Wystarczy ten żwir zebrać z boków i wsypać go do dziury i będzie jak wcześniej. Jak chcesz mieć podjazd bez dziur ,to zrób drogę żwirową z takimi spadkami ,żeby woda z podjazdu spływała poza drogę. Jak sucha droga to twarda jak mokra to miękka i zaczynają się robić dziury.

@thomasneessen9125

He did it right. You can’t just dump new gravel in. The new rock doesn’t mix and compact with the old. That’s like pouring popcorn in a plastic bowl, it pops out.

When you break the crust around the hole, when you rake it back in, all the loose rock mixes and compacts together when driven on. That combines with the existing stone and hardens up, especially with rain.

@Pauljohn696969

3y↑21

That pot hole will quickly return! It's the compacted dirt in the centre of the hole that's the issue. Every time it rains and the hole fills with water. Driving over it causes any remaining loose material to be ejected from the hole and further compacts the center making the problem worse. Fix a pot hole permanently by digging out the compacted center along with the surrounding area refilling the hole with new gravel or a least gravel that hasn't been worn down and where the individual stones are still rough so they interlock and stay in place.

@2pls

3y↑17

Video is not 3d so does not show high spots well. Sides of Pot hole became higher than the driveway magnifying the bump and adding to compacting. By breaking up the high compacted sides and using that material as fill made it smooth. Almost a year now with heavy traffic still smooth. Lager Pot holes would require more excavation.

@rbrothers6308

47w↑1

@@2pls what was demonstrated by your efforts here is good, breaking up all around the edges and raking in the broken up aggregate is an important part of the process. That said, what will almost certainly result in a premature failure of the repair at this location is the fact that It appears like you left the “hard pan” undisturbed at the bottom of the hole. Unless you break through that portion of the pothole as well, any material placed in the the hole to fill it up will fail to bond effectively. When the surface gets really wet and tires passing over it will once again that action will begin to pull material from the hole and the cycle will start all over again…..I’m sorry to have to say it but as long as the compacted surface remains the fix won’t last.

So I did it. It took me 3 weeks but I finally accomplished my goal. I had to level out the dirt road in front of my driveway & my mailbox and up to the end of the street. I live on the corner… I ended up using a flat edge shovel to scrap of the top of the sand & move it to my side of the street. The county comes down my street & lays down sand just in the middle of the street.

@DMAX-tp4pc

15w↑1

I would definitely remove the water first and find some rocks for the bottom, I know that’s not gonna work here. Because using up all the gravel creates a low spot that holds water…and it’s already wet and squishy. Drive over it one time you got yourself a new pothole.
You see the grass on the side? There is gravel right underneath that, use that up and that way you have gravel and the water can drain out too.
I’d use rocks in the bottom and take gravel of the sides…that way water can drain and you save enough gravel so it won’t create a larger low spot.

I've got a 1/3 mile gravel driveway I share with 2 other people.

Once it warms up a bit, I'll try this and see if it helps the problem. We've probably got 10-15 holes to fill, but based on this video, I'm guessing I could knock them out in an hour or 2.

show this to my neighbors, they drive on the driveway at about 30mph through the rain and my whole driveway has potholes in 2 days when it rains. no amount of telling them to slow down ever works and im tired of doing this 5 times a year. never buy a home with a easement to another home, they will not care about your efforts.

@LansingLawnServiceLLC

2y↑3

Unfortunately, this pot hole will reappear within less than a month. The reason being he never went down to the bottom of the pothole. With gravel pothole you have to dig up the entire pothole. If you don’t they will come back within a matter of months. You can add gravel and fill in the potholes and they will reappear within months. All he did was loosen the gravel around the pothole and fill it in with the surrounding gravel. So pothole not fixed, just filled in temporarily.

There's a cheat to get the council contractors to fix it quick... buy a road marking spray.. a RED one.. and put a ring around the pothole in red marker... just one smooth motion... when the contractors drive around and they see a red ring, they are obliged to fix it within 2 weeks, so many fix them on sight and sort the paperwork out after.

I can admire this quick fix. But it is definitely temporary. Once you start driving vehicles over it, it won't take long for it to sink back in. The best fix for sink holes in gravel is more gravel.

Yes, you should not wait. Ideally, you want vehicles to be able to drive as smoothly as possible over driveways, as uneven movement can magnify a pothole or lead to more. Inspect your driveway regularly for signs of damage, and repair any potholes or rutting as soon as possible.

Close, that's not a pothole. You got the technique down it's just not a lasting fix. It's a low spot and eventually it will become worse. Mix a $1.30 bucket of shale. As low spots appear in other areas of the driveway, just keep applying shale. Shale is a base staple for building roads.

I’m no expert, but I think you’d have to do both for big and deep potholes. I’d think that the lose gravel has moved far enough away that you wouldn’t be able to level it with the rest of the driveway properly without adding gravel, that otherwise you’d have a dip in the driveway where the pothole used to be

@timcoolican459

48w↑1

First of all, get rid of the water. This is how potholes are created...water. Secondly, the pothole's walls and bottom needs to be scarified, just as the surrounding 6 inches, or more, should be. Are when placing gravel back into the scarified pothole, be sure to compact the new materials into the base and walls of the pothole, compacting everything until it is level to the road. A repair like this will last much longer than what he just did. But doing something is better than doing nothing at all.
