Carlos and Charlie's was the place to go when I spent 10 days there back in the 90's. It has since closed but what a great time I had there. You have to love a place with a sign out front that says, If we don't meet your standards, please lower yours.

Well here is your answer. Go to Carlos and Charlie's, that will kill the grass so you can extend that driveway.

You've come to the right place, and frankly, I'm glad you asked that question. The answer is 7.

Stabilize 37" deep with a 7.34% lime slurry. Lay 12" of base with a 60% crown and compact with a minimum of 14psi. Repeat process untill desired results are achieved. Lots of mathy stuff there That is the correct way. Not what they did on Toll 49 around Tyler and the reason it is junk!!

Recycled shingles. And if you want it to look nice, some type of border, cross ties etc.

I have an idea, let's have an OT fishing tourney entry on Lake fork. This should fix the driveway.
