Yeah well anyway...gravel ends up getting shoved into the same end of the
parking lot where the snow goes, leaving bare ground and mud. Then, it
needs
to be redistributed in the spring. It also provides an endless supply of
rocks to be thrown by vandals.


The operator raises the blade of the plow so as not to scrape the gravel.
It's
not like plowing pavement where the blade must ride on the surface. A half
inch
or so of snow on gravel makes little difference to the traction.

Are the vandals in your community prevented from vandalizing by paved
lots?

At any point in the past, have you made any observations of how kids behave?
