The test site was constructed on October 1, 2004.  Prior to grading the site for the test section, the build a gravel driveway area was proof-rolled with a loaded water truck.  Construction of the test section was conducted by Soil Retention crews and was done under the direction of Dean Sandri, PE.  The “pavement section” consisted of the Drivable Grass (1.5 inch thickness) “wearing surface” underlain by a one-half to one inch thickness of sand leveling bed and a variable thickness of crushed miscellaneous base (CMB); all of which was placed directly on top of the existing sub-grade soils (See Figure 1).  A geotextile separator (Mirafi 140N) build a gravel driveway was placed between the subgrade and aggregate base to ensure that mixing of the build a gravel driveway two would be minimized.  build a gravel driveway A rigid concrete apron was provided at each end of the test build a gravel driveway section to transition vehicular traffic on and off of the pavement.  Below is a cross section of the test area build a gravel driveway build a gravel driveway.
