If you watch to the end you get a full price breakdown for total cost of the driveway. Rental equipment, rock, etc. It's a lot cheaper than the $10k in rock I spent on the Bin's driveway.

Might want to try a landscape/driveway fabric under the rock if you have not already so you do not lose the rock over time. The rock will press down into the mud.

@caincoulson2968 11 ай бұрын

An option to reduce the amount of 3/4” minus you have to put down is to roll filter cloth out underneath. It will prevent the rock from punching into the mud below when it rains. And should only cost about 4-5 hundred bucks for the whole drive way

It should of had ballast put down first

@caincoulson2968 11 ай бұрын

@@Yettiattack agreed, but he’s trying to save money. If you’re going to not place ballast at least the filter cloth will help keep the thin layer of 3/4 from punching right into the dirt when it rains and gets driven on.

I also live in the PNW and I can tell you that you need to spend the money and get the drive done right. Our winter rain will make that drive a big muddy mess. As a guest you do not want them to get stuck or mess up their cars. You also need to widen the drive because it’s just right fit our thorny blackberry bushes to take over and scratch the guests’ cars. In all else, you just amaze me!

You should take that boulder and put it at the end of the driveway and get a stonecutter to cut into it the name of the place, add a little light shining on it and boom.

@ohmydancy 10 ай бұрын

Great job, loving the content! Honest question - can't you just get a gravel truck to deliver and spread as it pulls out? That's how our gravel drive was done in North Carolina - much quicker than the gravel truck just dumping a load and you having to level and spread yourself. For reference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLCRpbGQpqfXnIU.html. Hope this helps!

@sammyjayconway 10 ай бұрын

I saw your comment before I got to that part of the video. I think he probably would have if he wanted to rock the whole driveway but he chose the two tire tracks method to save money and I dont think a truck dump and pull out would do that. But I guess for the turn around area it would have helped/save time and effort.
