Driveway material
 
I am looking for some type of aggregate to put down for a drive at Toledo Bend but I want somthing grass will grow over and cover so when I cut the yrd I don't pick it up and throw it through a window. I have seen people use somethin that is black like crushed asphalt but I am not sure what it is for sure..... I am also looking for someone in S. Toledo Bend area to buy from since house is by the dam on TX side. Thanks for any info.

la ash in sulphur may have something you can use they have some fine stuff 337-625-4260 i get the rocks from them alot cheaper than limestone and packs better

I think what you are talking about is bottom ash. It packs ok but will track in your house.

I need somthin crushed that will pack but will also allow grass to cover, do yall know if there is a crushed limestone or anything like that for a decent price, is getting crushed asphalt possible or would it not work well

Remind me tomorrow and I'll take a picture of my driveway, its crushed concrete. Packed hard as a rock. Think I paid around $450 for a 20 yard truck hauled to Holmwood.

Don't think grass will grow under this though.

It has some fairly big pieces of concrete in it. Would probably throe it with a mower. Got some.in front of my boat shed and it works great.

Crushed concrete...

swamp snorkler 03-16-2012 12:16 PM

We use some big rocks about softball size in our yard then cover that with 6/10. It packs as hard as a $60 jawbreaker. Track cranes and cherry pickers and it holds up really well.



However, grass will not grow over it. IDK why you want more grass to cut in the first place though.
