Hello,

we are planning to pave our driveway soon. For frost protection, we will order crushed stone with a grain size of 0/32. The question I have is, how much crushed stone should we install? Is 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) enough, or should it be more?

So, I’ll try uploading now. Let’s see if it works.







It doesn’t show very well in the photos, but the paving actually slopes slightly away from the garage toward the street, and so far the rainwater has drained properly. There hasn’t been any heavy downpour yet, though.

Otherwise, I’m fully recovered now. After the surgery it wasn’t a big deal anymore these days—just three small incisions and a very quick recovery time.

Thank you very much! But we were really lucky that we only had to cut on one side!!!

Good morning,

yes, that looks solid! It definitely has to withstand quite a lot. The effort put into a stable solution will surely pay off.
I wish you a smooth recovery from the surgery,
all the best!
