Clear the existing driveway or mark the boundaries for the new driveway, removing any vegetation or debris. 2.LAY WEED BARRIER FABRIC:

Place the weed barrier fabric over the driveway area to prevent weed growth and ensure a stable foundation for the gravel.

Evenly spread the gravel over the weed barrier. Use a shovel or rake to distribute the gravel, maintaining a uniform thickness. 4.COMPACT THE GRAVEL:

Use a tamper to compact the gravel firmly. This step is crucial to create a stable surface that can withstand vehicle traffic.
