Ummm, why would my septic tank have anything to do with the OP's
parking situation...? :)~

gravel driveways always get muddy, no matter what you do. I added 500
bucks worth of new gravel to a 65 foot driveway within 2 years mud.

proobably overkill for this poster but a neighbor had a mud free
driveway.

he had it dug out with bulldozed a foot down, had a cheap layer of
asphalt laid, then added a foot of gravel. 15 years and zero mud. no
extra grravel needed.

Cheaper than laying asphalt under it, use good quality landscaping
fabric under the gravel. (Don't cheap out with too little gravel, or
the fabric will get exposed in patches and you'll get mud where it wears
through.)

Not if they re put in properly. The house I built in 1998 still just has
gravel in the 100 ft driveway..NO MUD

Place we re in now..2004 to date..no mud

It has to do with putting down a proper base of AB3 or crush and run. I'll
bet that's what you did, right?
