 Gravel drive help - Crankcase
We have a gravel drive, which is basically tarmac (on a concrete sub base) onto which gravel was rolled. It's stayed in place pretty well, with a few little dips here and there which need occasional gravelly top ups.

A small area (a foot across maybe) is breaking up where the car turns when I do a daily three point, as I guess the tyre is always in pretty well exactly the same place.

Would digging it out, sticking in a £7.50 bag of cold lay tarmac and whacking down some replacement gravel on top of it before it sets do the trick do we think? Or is it going to be much sucking of teeth and five grand before I blink?
