I skimmed off the grass layer of my front garden and knocked down the garden wall to give me access to park (obv planning permission etc was obtained).
Being young and inexperienced, I just laid some anti-weed fabric and dumped 1.5 tonne of gravel on it (10mm-20mm in size)
It's only a small area but the dimensions are:
4m wide, by 5m long.
From where the garden wall used to be (what is now the join of my drive and the public pathway) there is a 20cm (roughly) gradient drop over that 5m drive length (ie, sloping down to my property at 4cm every meter).
I didn't give it thought at the time - but now I can see and feel my mistake... The car has sunk a bit and it's difficult to get off the drive due to the gravel slipping.
I don't know what's best to do - but I have a thought that building the rear of the drive up so it's flat might work?
How would I go about that, or would you suggest an alternate method?
Many thanks in advance
