gravel

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've had this screen kicking around for several years. I picked it up as 'scrap' with a bunch of scrap during a clean up job. And I had a few red oak logs laying in the yard from this spring. (browntail killed the oak) So while milling lumber, and the last logs in the yard were the oaks, I cut...

So on and off though out the summer I've been cleaning up and pushing stumps that was dumped here 6 years ago. Yesterday I decided to dig in my pit and build up a small camper pad at one edge of the pit. This evening after dinner I was shaving a bank, and opened up (found) a nice vein of pin...

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 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...

Hi! I have some spots on my property that have turned from grass into dirt because I drive my equipment through those areas. I'd like to throw some gravel down to reduce the mud and dust and to make it look nicer. I have watched youtube videos and did a fair amount of research on the proper way...
