I am thinking of laying a gravel driveway on a slight slope and am planning to use sleepers across thr driveway to stop the gravel sliding down the slope.
Please can someone advise how I should fix the sleepers to the ground to stop them moving.
I am planning to compact the gravel between the sleepers, with it being roughly level with the tops of the sleepers as well, so I am hoping there will not be any movement as we drive the cars on and off but I would be grateful for any advice/thoughts.

it seems a plan doomed to fail john
as your wheel pass from gravel to timber you are bound to get grip problems which in turn will cause the wheels to spin,thereby chucking a load of gravel down the drive
if you want a gravel effect i would go for ronafix or addagrip resin bonded gravel
looks like gravel,but its stuck like s**t to a blanket
