Cleaning driveway ditches

[RayIN]

The first 100 yards of my driveway is like that. The rest is not so bad.
How do you keep the gravel in place? We had 3/4 crusher run and people tend to spin it up. I was told fines would be better…?!

My driveway is only about 100', all uphill to the house. I've been satisfied with my arrangement. The base is made of 6'x6' slabs of limestone that was scrap from the stone mill. I covered that with #2 crushed stone, over that was #5, covered that with #73(county run). After that packed down over a few years I had #5 spread 2" thick, then more #73. Every time it rained I'd use my pickup to go back N forth packing it down again.
I'm about ready to rebuilt the drive again, as last spring the heavy rains washed gullies 4" deep in places.

I'm a newbie, but my first project for my new tractor was the same, but maybe 1/8th mile. I used my 5' box blade, tilted all of the way to the left side down. Also dropped the left scarifier all of the way down. Then used my new JD 3038e to clean, deepen and widen the ditch. It took several passes going downhill and I took out a couple of bucketfuls of rocks, but came out nice. I had to put both left tires into the ditch, but that worked OK too and probably helped with compaction.

Not bad for my first project, right?
