My brother has a road going up a hillside that needs a drainage ditch so the runoff doesn't wash out the roadway.
The road is fairly steep so my idea is to put down some stone in the ditch, lay down perforated pipe w/ cloth wrapped around it to prevent soil infiltration & then cover the pipe with more stone. My theory is that this will do a better job of preventing erosion than just lining the ditch with stone.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
David
