Wear and tear, and weathering on a gravel drive can cause potholes to form easily. You can repair this simply by following the steps below. The same steps also apply to a monoblock or paved driveway; you just have to lift the stones first, then replace and level them afterwards.

• Clear the top layer of gravel from around and inside the pothole and keep to one side.
Fill the hole with rubble of an appropriate size and then compact down with the back of a spade
• Top off with sand or dirt, compacting frequently, until level is the same as the surrounding ground
• Replace the gravel across the top, if required mix in some new gravel of a similar type and blend in with existing drive
