I need some advise here.I just added a 30 X 40 area to my 25 X75 driveway.It is made up of crush n run.I am having a 20 x 12 shed delivered and plan on putting it in the new area.
When I leveled the area I compacted it every 4 inches and then compacted the crush n run.
Now we just got between 3 to4 inches of rain in the past 2 days and the area that was resurfaced is a little soft but looks like it is settling down good
The new area is very soft I left 1 to 2 inch deep tire tracks. Should I just let it dry out and keep driving over it and rake as needed or should more stone be added?

I would go more stone and then compact.

I Would Rake Out The Present Stone And Compact It Also You Didn't Mention What Type Of Compacor You Are Using It Should Be At Least A 4 Ton Vibritory Roller Or Equal The Put The New Stone And Compact It Again.

I guess the guy I bought the stone from felt bad for me after I ordered that last truckload.He sent over one of his guys with a huge bobcat and spread it and graded everything for free.
In the summer I have to add 2 truckloads of fill and 1 load of topsoil on top of my mound septic system and guess who I will be calling again.

Just Make Sure You Compact It Good Just Adding Stone Is Not Going To Solve The Problem.
