Driveways:

Spread Shingle Chips with a manure spreader, running tractor engine at slightly more than idle. With tractor in low gear, keep moving while spreading, applying a thin layer with each pass. Continue until you have approximately a five inch base of loose shingle chips. Have someone follow the spreader with a fork, shaking and leveling out any lumps or high spots. This should be done during each spreader load.

Livestock Area:

Place shingle chips 10-12" thick over solid clay or hard top soil. Spread Chips with a manure spreader.
