(OP)
What is lime treatment?  When is it required?  Is it expensive?

RE: lime treatment

Traffic usually reacts poorly when mixed with caustic chemicals. Try over in the Civil/Environmental Other Topics forum.

ALso, that's a pretty vague request. Are you reducing the acidity of your garden topsoil? Enjoying it with a little salt and a Dos Equis?

Sorry about the sarcasm. The baby was cranky last night.

RE: lime treatment

Lime treatment (also called lime stabilization)is a method of soil modification to enhance the strength of a soft roadway subgrade.  Lime (in apowder or slurry) is incorporated into the soil by disking.  the soil is then compacted by rolling.  It doesn't improve the long-term strength and it isn't effective with all soils, but in the short term it can provides the stability needed to install the pavement.
