Here's a thought. I have a steep hill that was originally covered with 2" minus limestone. but it turned into a loose mess. Had a contractor tell me to use "pug mill". So he hauled in several loads, packed it down and it is like solid rock! He said the "pug mill" is limestone that is wetted down. Probably 1/2" minus rock, but because it was wet when he installed it, it packed solid. You do have to pay for the extra weight because you are hauling a lot of water with each load since it is so wet, but it acts like concrete once it is in-place and I'm sold. I'll probably chip & seal over it in the spring/summer, but until then it looks like it will hold up for a very long time. Anyone else heard of using "pug mill"?
