Nice stone work. What did you use for the road in the background, asphalt, free floating, some crushed rock sucured with glue? - Peter

The road is asphalt patch mix pounded in place.  It's about 2" thick.  I'm thinking of covering it with a slurry of balsat crusher fines and motar mix.  Saw a layout in Tacoma that really had some nice looking roads with that covering.
