gravel

My big driveway turn around area up top is compacted, no pot holes but a lowish spot on the driver's side of where my lovely wife gets out of her car. During heavy rains, her foot can find a 1" puddle in a low spot. Early fall I took my DR grader that I use on my three point, stir gravel up and...

Hi all, This is my current driveway, the tyre dirt is nice and compact, with the middle sod part being easily scraped top soil. I want to put in gravel, what's the best approach? Do I make 2 passes with the box blade and knock the depth down of the whole track? Or use the 4 in 1 FEL and scope...

Now that I'm ready for winter again, I'm posting a picture of my L4479 front blower. First mod was to replace the pathetic shoes with ones that are three times larger. Second is to remove the plow blade edge and replace with a 2" heavy pipe/flange. I have a bunch of gravel road work and find...

A few years back I had a 24 x 40 pole barn put up with metal siding. The front has two large sliding doors to get things in and out and it has a gravel floor. There is about a 4 inch gap at the bottom of the doors which does allow airflow. At the bottom of the walls, I have noticed daylight...

I have about a 1 mile gravel driveway. My maintenance plan, which has worked pretty well, is: 1 - Make multiple passes with an angled landscape rake to bring gravel back onto drive. 2 - Make a few passes with LPGS to smooth the drive. I find that the landscape rake is just "OK" on pulling...

I maintain 1.25 miles of private gravel road. The dust is just terrible in some spots where houses are close to the road. I used to spread calcium chloride, but the prices are getting out of hand. I looked into millings and oil & chip, but those prices are way too expensive as well. Yes, this...

Would a Landscape Rake be the best to move gravel back onto the road? My gravel always ends up on the road edges.

Folks, I'm getting a bit tired of the continuous regrading of my gravel road. I'm wondering if anyone has experience using a product like this: How to Stabilize a Steep Gravel Driveway - TRUEGRID Pavers is this legit or snake oil?

finally got some snow and i got to use my manual adjusting land pride 72" QA snow blade! I always plow a few inches off the gravel road but the issue is i can not get past is hills. I can have it set perfectly but as soon as you start to go down hill it causes the plow to be down facing plowing...

I have about 1/2 mile gravel road which takes a beating. I'm going to redo it with fabric and gravel, but I want to figure out a way to pack it as smoothly as possible, after I'm through with a land plane. A lot of the road is on a north facing hill, and it tends to wash out, even though I plan...

We have a small subdivision with gravel roads and want to do our own maintenance on the drainage ditches. The local outfit that does the main grading of the road does fairly well with crown, but very poor on the drainage (intentional?), causing extra work after big rains. I'd like to be able...

Just recently my gravel drive got a great deal of washboarding. No different equipment up and down the drive. Only real change over the last several months is extreme drought. Any thoughts that caused this and the best way to remove?

A dream come true property was purchased. I now have a 1/4 mile gravel driveway. I suspect I need a tractor and a box blade to maintain it. I might need snow removal too. In my area I have LS, Kubota, and Mahindra dealerships. Any suggestions?

I've had this screen kicking around for several years. I picked it up as 'scrap' with a bunch of scrap during a clean up job. And I had a few red oak logs laying in the yard from this spring. (browntail killed the oak) So while milling lumber, and the last logs in the yard were the oaks, I cut...

So on and off though out the summer I've been cleaning up and pushing stumps that was dumped here 6 years ago. Yesterday I decided to dig in my pit and build up a small camper pad at one edge of the pit. This evening after dinner I was shaving a bank, and opened up (found) a nice vein of pin...

I am planning a gravel driveway for a new build and have a few questions since I've never had a gravel driveway before. I have started on some preliminary work which I think is necessary. so far I've scraped all the organic materials from the entire driveway. In some places I am as much as 12...

I'm getting crashed stone delivered and spread on my old gravel driveway. I will crown and level it. Then a guy with vibrating roller will come over and compact it. Would it be a good idea to have stone dust spread on top before compacting? Please share your experience/ideas/suggestions...

Hi All, I’ve lurked around on this forum for quite some time, but the realistic possibility of being a tractor owner within the month prompted me to join and get some insight, and hopefully reinforce my thought process. We moved onto 26 acres nearly three years ago now, but officially bought...

Other than ordering less stuff, how can we minimize the 3 point turn ruts in our crusher run driveway from deliveries. The drive is 700' so backing out is not a reasonable ask. When they crank their tires from one side to the other in one spot it makes a little depression, when it rains, the...

I want to raise a section of our driveway (where it meets the main road) about 1ft. I'm thinking about putting 5" minus on the bottom and then 3/4" minus on top. How easy will it be to "grade" the 5" minus? I have a back blade and a crappy box blade (and a bucket of course). Or should I go...

Hi! I have some spots on my property that have turned from grass into dirt because I drive my equipment through those areas. I'd like to throw some gravel down to reduce the mud and dust and to make it look nicer. I have watched youtube videos and did a fair amount of research on the proper way...
