Bricks, Masonry, Asphalt and Concrete - Any prep before getting driveway re-stoned??

Getting stone in on Monday for my driveway because it is almost worn out. I have one concrete pad in front of my garage and one off to the side for parking. If I get two inches of stone it will most likely come over the top of these pads. Should i dig out around them or just fade the rock into a thinner covering where it will meet the pads? Thanks a million. By the way, is 2" deep stone a normal covering thickness? :confused:

Anyone have anything - ideas?

If any areas are real muddy, dig them up and make sure 4" of stone is put there. 2" topcoat of stone on top of an old driveway should be ok, but a total of atleast 4" of stone is perferred. You can taper it to the pad, unless you want to do a lot of digging. What size stone are you getting?

The stone is packable. I think it is maybe 1/2" down to dust. Thanks for the response.

This sounds to be what we call crusher run, a variety of stone sized with the sand and dust component. This packs well and should be laid a tad thick before packing is begun to match the pad when packed.

I have this for a driveway. It was orignally laid 4 inches thick then packed with a steam roller. I have had to touch it up in places due to traffic, but it is a straightforward matter of spreading it then running my truck over it.

Hope this helps.

Oh and a hint to get it to pack better, wet the stone down and work it. Don't go overboard with the water either.
