missed the word gravel - read driveway apron - saw a concrete driveway in the picture & went with that

When I removed mine - the compacted stone underneath was nearly as hard as the asphalt - would have had difficulty removing it with a shovel or ax - but the hammer broke it up when going through the asphalt.

Good luck.

I'm curious. If the hammer broke it up nicely when going through the asphalt then how would you know that the compacted stone underneath was nearly as hard and would have been difficult to remove with a shovel or ax?

because in several cases it broke up as a large chunk of the asphalt & when I removed the asphalt there was unbroken up compacted stone which I then attempted to brake up with the ax I initially started with & all it would do is chip out small pieces of stone....I then went back in with the hammer to break those up

what is under asphalt & poured concrete is not compacted gravel if it was done correctly - it is crushed stone tamped/compacted down which is then "dusted" with concrete/cement over the top & wet down to bond the stone together - sort of a foundation for the top layer

satisfied or do you want to continue beating this to death?

OK.
So I used the wrong term.
Sue me.

Tack / Prime Coat. The tack or prime coat is a spray applied application of emulsified asphalt. A prime coat is applied to an aggregate base to coat and bind particles on the surface of the aggregate layer and to promote bonding between the aggregate and asphalt base layers. A tack coat is used to create a bond between asphalt layers.

Nope, you can do it at anytime, but if you do it once they have leafs you got to make sure they stay attached to the bulb ??
