driveway

Hello, I’m thinking about getting the power rake for my PT422 for maintaining my gravel driveway. Right now I use the ratchet rake that attaches to my bucket ($300.00) when I bought it three years ago. I Was wondering if any of you guys have the power rake and would recommend it for a gravel...

After winter freeze I raised the rock to the surface with an old harrow and my x758.

Folks, I'm getting a bit tired of the continuous regrading of my gravel road. I'm wondering if anyone has experience using a product like this: How to Stabilize a Steep Gravel Driveway - TRUEGRID Pavers is this legit or snake oil?

I have 10 acres of high desert grassland. The lot has a lot of steep hills which does make brush mowing a challenge. Fortunately I only need to do this once per year after the grass has gone to seed. This is primarily for fire abatement. The ground seems to sprout rocks, some of which are...

finally got some snow and i got to use my manual adjusting land pride 72" QA snow blade! I always plow a few inches off the gravel road but the issue is i can not get past is hills. I can have it set perfectly but as soon as you start to go down hill it causes the plow to be down facing plowing...

Here in Virginia we are having our 2 x per decade decent snow event. I have a #8 brownstone driveway and I've never been very good at getting the snow off with my JD 1025R. I have a rear blade, which requires constant attention to keep from gouging. I have put PVC on my loader and use it in...

I have a Yanmar 1700 I bought to maintain my gravel driveway, about 1/8 mile. 1/3 of the drive is solely mine and 2/3 of it are shared. My part is #57 gravel and basically just need to spread/level the gravel. The remaining 2/3 is finer material, packed hard with some potholes. I have a 5 foot...

I need suggestions on how to get the dips out of my 1/4 mile long gravel drive. Attachments I have are a box blade with scarifires , land plane and a hyd top link on my tractor . The dips are about every 20 feet or so . Any ideas would be much appreciated

I need a blade box for light residential driveway work - for removing some rots and spreading new gravel. I have a Kubota B3200 with loaded tires and 4" spacers. After reading the forums, I left with the impression that for grading work the weight of the box blade was vital. Because of this...

A dream come true property was purchased. I now have a 1/4 mile gravel driveway. I suspect I need a tractor and a box blade to maintain it. I might need snow removal too. In my area I have LS, Kubota, and Mahindra dealerships. Any suggestions?

I'm preparing to rent a track loader to regrade my gravel driveway and spread new crusher run. I'm considering using geotextile fabric to minimize formation of ruts on the steep parts of the driveway and to control weeds. Would there be any disadvantage to placing geotextile fabric over the...

I am planning a gravel driveway for a new build and have a few questions since I've never had a gravel driveway before. I have started on some preliminary work which I think is necessary. so far I've scraped all the organic materials from the entire driveway. In some places I am as much as 12...

I'm getting crashed stone delivered and spread on my old gravel driveway. I will crown and level it. Then a guy with vibrating roller will come over and compact it. Would it be a good idea to have stone dust spread on top before compacting? Please share your experience/ideas/suggestions...

I have portion of our property that has very sandy soil. (It is between the current creek and an old oxbow. Sand gets deposited roughly every 5-10 years during significant floods.) I use that area for recreational activities, but the sand is loose enough that there is a small chance you will...

Hello. I've got 600 feet of stone driveway that raises 50 feet in elevation. Construction last fall created more washboarding. I've owned this place for three years and never had to do anything to the driveway before. I don't know how it was built/base, but it's not in bad shape. I'm...

I need to run some 4" thin wall drainage PVC under our driveway which is paved. I am going to dig a trench for it say about 8" deep and then patch the pavement. My question is does it need support to protect it from crushing? My ideas if it needs protection is to run it through some 6" PVC...

I've been using Roundup in a 4 gallon backpack sprayer for years and it has done ok at controlling the weeks but I never have truly weed free gravel. Last year I didn't spray as an experiment and it's not all that much different (either now or during the growing season) than it would have been...

Howdy folks. I used the search function but didn't find any results from the last seven years. I have about 250yds of driveway on my soon to be constructed home. I'd like to start budgeting for getting that paved. We will be doing a decent amount of snow removal in the winter, and that sure goes...

Other than ordering less stuff, how can we minimize the 3 point turn ruts in our crusher run driveway from deliveries. The drive is 700' so backing out is not a reasonable ask. When they crank their tires from one side to the other in one spot it makes a little depression, when it rains, the...

I want to raise a section of our driveway (where it meets the main road) about 1ft. I'm thinking about putting 5" minus on the bottom and then 3/4" minus on top. How easy will it be to "grade" the 5" minus? I have a back blade and a crappy box blade (and a bucket of course). Or should I go...

The drive is a year and a half old and is a little rough, it was supposed to be 6" deep but at this point is only 2-4" in many parts. It is currently non spec ABC (N rock around here), we had always planned to top it with something a little nicer post construction. All of the contruction...
