Step 2 – Sprinkle weed killer:

When done with first step, move on to weed killer. It will help prevent any type of unwanted vegetation from coming up through the rocks.

Rake your ground thoroughly until it is even. Remember, to keep the middle of your driveway path slightly higher as compared to the sides, which will prevent any flooding.
