It is recommended that a 4-6 inch layer of No. 4 crushed limestone rock be used for the base material and a 2-3 inch cover of fine road grade material be used to construct the pad. This type of construction can be accomplished at about 1/3 the cost of concrete.
Maintenance: Lanes and pads need to be scraped periodically to remove snow, manure, or silage. To maintain the crushed rock base material, the finer surface cover needs to be replenished. Life Expectancy: Gravel Geotextile Asphalt Concrete 5 yrs 15 yrs 15 yrs 20 yrs
