I was thinking of doing the same thing but instead of the entire surface, do two paths about 18” wide x 4 inch thick, and place rebar or a 4x4 wire mesh to reinforce it…. Also use straight Portland cement if the local gravel is clean enough. Might be better if I dig the 18” path in a bit so it’s not sitting on top of the existing lane…your in a tight turn so a 18” path might be too narrow. Well I’m interested to see how it holds up. A lot will depend on how stable the ground is under that new concrete…it doesn’t like to flex.
Cuz it’s quik set concrete. You don’t pre mix. Just water. But what he is doing will clump up and not be solid . Depends on amount used. I’m curious to see it now
Had a hole in a dirt and gravel drive way where a small tree was pushed out ( young pine about 15 to 20 ft tall). Couldn't keep it filled. Filled it in for 2 yrs and would still come back. So, got the idea to fill it with some dirt and poured about half bag of of quickcrete over then watered it down real good. Problem sovled. Reappearing hole ceased to reappear! Lived there for 8 more yrs before moving and hole never did come back over the time i lived there.
Purchase straight Portland cement, anything else is full of filler rocks, you already have the rocks. In Australia they use latex polymers for road stabilization, probably just floor wax tilled and packed down.
hey man can you do more of there amazing vids please there so entertaining pleas make more please💯💯💯💯💯💯💌💌💌😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘 i want to meet you so bad in real lie
I have a gravel driveway as well and have a hard time plowing the snow. I want to get a snow blower but I know the blower will spit the rocks out. But I want to rent a compactor and get a bunch of bags of sand and cement. My driveway is more leveled than yours and I don’t have any hills. Our winters in Montana can be brutal and they last a long time.
Not meaning to kick you in the shin please if you could invest in a better camera. The one you have when you move around it’s hard to look at without getting dizzy. Thank you sir for sharing.
NO! DON'T DO IT. This is horrible when it comes time for maintenance. And yes that time will come no matter how much concrete you put on it. You are just making it much worse to maintain with chunks of concrete everywhere. Cut and grade your driveway once a year or fund someone that does gravel driveway maintenance and that can renovate your driveway with your existing gravel.
@@bleumeanyontherampage2136 Because he has created like a half inch thick concrete slab over loose gravel that he is going to drive heavy trucks on. It will crack almost immediately and will then be loose large sheets of concrete.
@@Defender_Tom Yep. I'd get a solid surface. But given my 1/4 km long and steep driveway, and that we get snow, I'm ok with gravel. Solid surface would be a schit show when icy.
To fix my place that washes out on a hill, the cheapest estimate was $6000. I make less than $1500 a month social security. I sorted and place aggregates by hand, used fines made of cheap torn bags of concrete mixed with hand sifted limestone fines. A dumpster dive piece of 4" conduit for a culvert pipe. I pretended I was a kid in a sandbox. Never washed out again.
I hope you do a follow up in a few months, I'd be interested in it. Good video!
Don’t hold your breath.

Any updates to the rest of the driveway?
Great job
Right idea unsure why you didnt wet it and mix together????

For some reason, I did not realize he wet it.
How does it look after driving on it for a week or two?😊
I hope you were not holding your breath
@@georgea6403I bet he needed about another 100 bags before noticing any difference.
You don’t need 8 bags. You need 800 bags. Or a concrete truck

Thanks for the video, I’d love to see how it’s holding up!
An update video for all the people who are about to try to fix their affordable gravel driveways with concrete would be nice (:
I’d be concerned about your lungs inhaling all this powder.
Good point. Siliceous…is real. Not as bad as asbestosis.. but still an issue. Respirator with HEPA filter would be recommended.
Please do an update video

Should have used Portland, not quick Crete.
Definitely need a mask
That monster energy bottle cracked me up! Gotta get highdrated before the task, right on!
How's the drive way holding up?
I was just thinking about if this would work. And yup. Someone has tried it. Thank you!
I wash my brooms every time we pour concrete
Can it handle to be plowed with a foot of snow and not move all the rock?
Any update Josh?
Thanks for sharing!
No no no bad idea

Bro you’re telling him not to do something he already documented himself doing 💀
Everyone's a Genius in their own minds 😂
@@Nikosakii I laughed out loud at this
@@Nikosakiiseems to me he’s telling others not to do this.
@@gbpg2016 the guy in the video ALREADY DID IT. How can you tell him not to do it💀
love it
Yay
When you don't have the money to do it right but you still want to do something... even when it's worthless.
why is it worthless?
if you have to ask
@@georgea6403 If I have to ask ,and you don't have an answer, guess it might just work.
I mean, it does work, it's just a gravel supplement

The water will come down faster now. How much are you dealing with?
Looking forward to the update video on the dangers of silicosis
What a joke
I would have got a mixer and mixed it first lol.
Hire a reliable asphalt firm and have a proper 🖐drive chap
Maybe he can’t afford professional job.
@@lorihamlin3604 Or, like around here, "reliable asphalt firm" is a myth, like an honest roofing business......
Not everyone wants an asphalt driveway. Some people want gravel, even if they can afford asphalt, concrete, or pavers.
