Gravel drive on a slope

Question

My drive is on a slope. How do I keep the gravel in place and not washed down when it rains?

You would be better off using the hard plastic grids-look on Google- also put a concrete flat top edging across the bottom of your driveway, then put a slightly larger stone in spread evenly and then add a smaller stone if possible rolling it you can get a hand roller from a local hire shop,
Good luck 🍀

Hi Chris 
Larger size aggregate with grids stay in place and are easier to maintain than smaller aggregate/stones that tend to wash away and get moved around more if it’s only a small driveway it will probably be more cost effective to change the stone size and maybe install grids if it’s within your budget. 
I hope this helps 
Thanks

You would need some grids put in place for the retaining of the gravel

Gravel grids are usually put underneath to prevent this happening.

Use breedon gravel it binds and acts as an all in one drive instead of individual loose material

Use grids to keep in place this should stop most of it sliding

I would recommend putting an Edina system in to lock the stones in the space required

Change your stone size and good drainage at the bottom  of the spole at the end the driveway or change too a nice new block driveway.
