I live on an small acreage in town limits of 1.5 acres. I don't have a long driveway but I do have a fair bit of the area covered in crushed rock for the driveway and parking that does require a fair bit of maneuvering to maintain it. There are some areas that are fairly tight and close to buildings but I have no problems driving my Kubota L2501 around them. All the area close to buildings is graded away for run off and I have a small ditch that crosses the main part of the driveway to direct snow melt and rain water to the dry creek bed at the front of the property which takes it to the culverts. I have an OCD issue (lol) with wanting my driveway and other areas covered with driveway rock to look good and weed free. I do use round up for weed control but that takes to much time to get results. I am hoping that resurfacing on a regular basis would be more productive means of weed control. The driveway, gets packed solid from all the driving and I want it to have that freshly resurfaced look. What ever I use will need to be fairly compact so I can get into the areas around my buildings. I have scoured the internet on what would be the best implement to use to dig up and resurface the area when ever it needs it but there are lots of different opinions. The area is established with proper grade already and doesn't need changing or moving material from one place to another, it just needs to resurfaced every once in awhile. I have seen box blades, rear blades and land planes used for this, but I don't have much experience with any of them. I have recently come across a video if a small homemade pull type box scraper with rippers and hydraulic gauge wheels that looks like it works quite well but I think it would be a bit of a pain to maneuver close to the buildings. I would like to hear some real world experiences on which implement would be my best bet for the area that i have.
