And not even a driveway, just a spur. I already bought the geogrid. Is "3ft rise over 6 foot run" called a 2:1 slope? That's the slope of my engineered fill, much more 'relaxed' than the geogrid diagram I posted. It's appx the slope that the rock would hold at even with no geogrid reinforcement. I can't find any diagrams with the slope I'm using, I assumed because nobody would waste geogrid on such a 'gentle layup'. I'm being conservative (I think ?? ) using the materials I have access to.
Seeing as I seem to have some real knowledge replying ( :cool2: )
,,,,,I will try to post more pics.
Glacial till passes everything it can get, but will scour if there's flowing water. Good reminder about the drainage as the compacted gravel surface from the driveway above will shed water onto this access. I will have to channel that away from the project until I figure out a reliable way to deal with it. I can keep ontop of it as it 'adusts', will re-fill settling, and deal with the water. I'm interested and understand water effects pretty well, but there's always more to learn too.
Really appreciate the help.
