Unmarked Track Potholes

[chuckalicious]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I share a track with 5 other houses which we are all responsible for. At some point it was resurfaced and had speed bumps put in.

Over the years this has all worn/washed away and so the track is a gravely stony track, which in itself isn't an issue. However at the speed bumps, we have a fair amount of humps and dips thanks to cars wheel spinning on the loose surface.

At the moment there is no scope/money for resurfacing so I'm wondering if there is anything that is worth doing in order to level out the humps and fill in the dips that will last for any decent amount of time.

Thanks

Club together for a JCB to drag it's front bucket to level the lot

Is it as simple as that? Would it need compacted afterwards?

Loose stone is always going to end up rutted and potholed, so I don't think it will matter if compaction was done with the JCB bucket or a roller. It will be semi-compacted now.

If you have no money for a hard wearing surface, the best you can do is just level what there is now. And then rake it or something every now and again.

Is it tarmac?

If you have pot holes your best off cutting them square and filling them with something that will set hard. My sister lives on a farm and her neighbour is forever filling pot holes with MOT, total waste of time because it washes out when it rains and cars go over it.

No, it isn't tarmac. I will take a photo when I get home so you can see it.

Sorry this took so long! Hard to really get a good idea from a photo but these are basically like big ripples which make the cars bounce all over the place because they are so randomly spaced
