I have been doing a driveway for a customer now for the last week. Its nothing super special. It is a 75' dirt driveway onto the street. The problem was that the angle of departure from the street to driveway itself was so sharp every time you backed off you bottomed out your vehicle. I even caught the bumper of my F-350!! I measured back 25' from the driveway as my point to angle too. I would have went back further but a buried electrical wire will not allow me too since it has to be 32" underground and it is already at that minimum. My question is what methods do I have to pack the dirt in preparation for gravel and what do I do to pack the gravel? I am 100 miles away from the nearest place to rent a vib-roller. I have so far done nothing more than back over every square inch of it with my tires. and ideas would be appreciated. thanks, Lucas
