> My experience, and others can agree or disagree, is that your idea although novel would not be the best use for PC.  PC basically does not hold up under prolonged exposure to moisture.  It works as a building material because of  the protection afforded by the roof and with adequate technology applied to the foundation to wick away moisture.  Even pure Portland cement "gravel" would have a pretty quick half-life in your gravel when being smashed by your car.  You would have better luck just pouring a large PC slurry amount into the hole (during dry season) and waiting for it harden up and then passing a sealing paint over it to "weatherize" it.  Depending upon the hole and other factors it might just last a good amount of time.  If it doesn't then, oh well, it was practically free.  The best thing would be to just play around with it and have a go at it.
