Hey List,
Well I've graded the private road I live on and I've fixed the problem we had with a steeper area washing out... but in the process the Gravel on top has seemd to dissapear? So you can imagine after 41" of snow, the road is a muddy mess.
One of my neighbors met me out on the road yesterday and said "We've lived here 8 years and it's never been muddy like this" .. Basically... "that tractor showed up and now our road is muddy"
So here are some questions I have:
1. Is there a time when you should NOT add new gravel or road base to the top of a road.. Temp's to low for example?
2. Would you recommend Gravel, or Road Base on top?
3. What would be an estimate on the cost to have a truck drop off the materail.. and I can spread it with the tractor myself. If it's not to expensive I plan on just paying for the stuff myself, and not have to deal with the politics of Neighbors... "you messed up the road... why should I have to pay to help fix it" issues.
Thanks Guys,
Phill
