I was thinking about this and wondering if getting some intermediate size stone would help? 3-6" sized stuff to help hold in the smaller stuff.<br />I'm in Pacific Northwest and with the rain we get, we must use at least 4" stuff on any kind of grade with smaller gravel mixed otherwise it just washes away.<br />Enjoying blog as always!<br />Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-7189058478684819892015-06-25T07:29:33.963-05:002015-06-25T07:29:33.963-05:00Lisa: hopefully, but I doubt it would pack down.

Hopefully over time the gravel will get packed down a bit more and have a better chance of hanging on in an onslaught of water!

We're about halfway down the hill and the last time they paved our streets they didn't remove the old paving so the curbs are very low, allowing the water to flow here instead.<br /><br />Jean: So true! I didn't mention that I moved at least 8 buckets of gravel.
