Re: Chip Seal


The bumby gravel chip seal should have drainage across from the main rd. the 45 deg angle is acceptable in most cases i would recomend 2' of base, but no less than 6''. I think Rory would agree with me. G

Re: Chip Seal


Smooth out the lumps, level the bumps, and you should be good to go!
