You can put gravel over dirt for short-term or light-use paths, but for driveways or long-term surfaces in Eugene's wet climate you should prepare the subgrade, add a compacted base layer, and ensure proper drainage. Skipping preparation often leads to rutting, sinking, and washouts during heavy rain.
