Just finished fixing the drive again. This time was worse because the gravel was already loose from last time. Last time I just used a grass rake and shovel. This time got out the 2520 with bucket. Box blade would have been better, but too much trouble to get out for this small of project. Just raked the gravel out of the grass and back-dragged into position with the bucket, then smoothed out and blended with rake.

I have seen people do the concrete trick around here and seems to work well. Hoping things will settle down and not need anything drastic. For the last 18 years, all we've ever had across those areas is just a gentle flow and not enough to move the gravel.
Apparently the culvert must have been backed up again because there was another batch of debris in the front yard. This is a 36" culvert that is taking water from about 4 blocks of public street, plus what water comes out of our yard.
It kind of galls me that I have to pay the City a "stormwater tax" on my water bill for every square inch of hard surface on my property, then take all their stormwater through my front yard every time it rains....
