My soil types are "Chesuncook-Telos" and "Telos-Chesuncook". I believe that means "A little dirt surrounded by small stones."Yup we can grow rocks better than vegetables in northeast.

Good Afternoon Guys,
Just a quick follow up on the drain project. As most of you know we have an unprecedented amount of rain here, which gave me the opportunity to see how the driveway drain was working. Took a ride down the DW this morning in the Ranger and sure enough water was coming out of the drain making me feel that all our work was not in vain !
The real test will be next spring when the frost is coming out along with the spring rains ! We shall see !

Congratulations on your successful drainage project! I hope that others in your area fared ok as well. That was a heck of a lot of rain.
All the best,
Peter

Good Evening Eddie,
Sorry didnt see this, we have gotten over 5" of rain earlier in the week, and it looks like we have more on the way ! Im praying for all the people up here that are in low lying areas !
It looks like a large part of the country has some type of issue to deal with ! Whether it be extreme heat or large quantities of rain !

I have a mile long gravel driveway. Straight as an arrow - hard as a rock. I finally got around to ditching one particular wet area on the driveway. Large field drains down onto a 150 foot section of the driveway. Did it early enough this spring that I could see that it helps.
Not nearly as fancy as the OP. Just a simple ditch for drainage.
BTW - as of today I have received a total of 6.62 inches of rain/melted snow here. That's since Jan 1, 2023. When it rains here - we go out and stand in the rain. This area is listed as semi-arid.

Good timing on your ditch!!
Hope it doesn't get any worse for everyone there.
