Anti-Mud
We couldn't live in a mud hole so we had some stone delivered and spread on the entire driveway. I will park my trailer here as well. So nice to be mud-less--at least in the driveway!
Hope that you had geotextile place under that gravel, and that the dirt base was packed hard or your beautiful new stone lane will just work its way down into the dirt, and the whole thing will become a rocky mud pit in about 2 years. It also helps to use "modified" gravel - it has limestone powder or screenings mixed into it and after it gets wet, packs quite hard.
