Help With Driveway Drainage

[dodge man]

It looks good to me without seeing it in person. My only comment is I have laid landscape fabric before and the animals dig it up.

Taking a break from sweating my ass off:

I once out rocks in the bottom of a ditch like that. The water eroded a channel alongside the rocks. They needed to go up the sides a bit.

Looks like it cleaned up good. Nice smooth front and back slope.

We will see. It goes up the sides a little. I don’t want to pay $300 more for rocks right now. maybe down the road. I’ll keep an eye out for that starting to happen, thank you.

Done with the rocks. Next steps:

Lay seed and netting on berm slope // get 20 tons of crush and run for driveway // order retaining wall block for the other side (100’ at 12” total height, with the first 4” below grade.

Also, picked up a 6’ x 28” x 2.5” red oak slab yesterday for $100. Great deal.

Even though you aren't done yet, it looks better visually than what you started with.

erosion control netting and grass seed on the berm, sand area is graded how I want it and ready from crush and run Tuesday.

Project is moving along:

Dang, somebody wasn't messing around, and attacked the problem. Nice work.

It's really looking like a professional with years of experience did this!!! Very nice.

I counted and the 60th rock from the right is a little out of place. I agree, it looks like someone knew what they were doing.
