As someone that does this kind of work, I was very happy to see that you placed the stone under the asphalt for a base. It's all too often I see contractors just using fill dirt as a base and placing asphalt on top and knowing it will not last. Nice work!

??? English kidding ? But that’s exactly what he is doing. I’ve got my driveway to repair, and obviously the way he is doing is extremely economical because he collects all gravel that have been washed out, but the problem isn’t no more pure gravel, it’s polluted with dirt and even worse : humus. I don’t see how he can have the hope of cohesion for such a base. I think he should find a place to dispose all that material at some place at the customer, maybe needs a truck or a dumper to move that, or pull it aside maybe ? Then purchase expensive stone and gravel to build the crown after having cleaned the existing material from remaining dirt or humus

Nice job! I had a gravel driveway, on a similar hill, that I battled for thirty-five years. I finally had it asphalted fifteen years ago. The issue with asphalt is it requires sealing often and the edges are prone to crumble over time. Good job on those wood chips. I have a tree stump grinding business. I ALWAYS inform my customers that grass will not grow over wood chips. The best thing to do is haul them off.

Agreed, you can’t just throw seed on woodchips, but as long as you throw an inch or so of topsoil over the chips, grass will grow… it’ll just sink as the chips deteriorate.

Nice video, love the rain check at the end, it’s always surprising what actually happens when the rain picks up. We have a 400ft steep driveway in the mountains and it’s a forever project. Not found anywhere yet that can deliver asphalt filings so struggling for options to seal it off in a diy fashion. It’s mainly base that compacts well, but if extremely dry summers turns to dust and gravel

Never put topsoil in a road regardless of how much stone you add because it stays mushy, especially when wet. Always save topsoil and spread it out on in the grass where it needed it.

This is why no one listens to contractors that know what they are doing. They see shit like this and think its ok. Did anyone see the ruts in there after the dump truck dropped off the first 3 loads of gravel. The driveway is unstable and will continue to stay wet and shift. The culvert too, omg.

Road base is not used for a standalone road topping, as the name Implies it is base for something else.... asphalt, concrete, at a bare minimum 1” & 3/4” crushed rock And if you want pretty top that one and three-quarter inch with a little pea gravel it’ll be KZfaq pretty

I saw a driveway with some washout and after passing the same driveway a few months later I noticed the home owner had installed some guardrails every 40 feet at an angle to divert the water to the sides where he also had some 3/4 stone installed. A year later when I passed by there was some damage but not like it was before it did the work. Thanks for the video

Just remember you ever just fill a hole or wash out it has to be cut out first so material will blend or same wash out will occur again down the. All ruts have to be cut if not underneeth what you can't see has not changed. You drive down a highway and see wash outs on slopes these cant just be filled because the edges of the wash out are tight thats why they stayed and did not wash out which is why the must be cut so material can be blended then graded. 74 yr old retired union operator lol Just saying.

The water channel on the side of the driveway should have been dug deeper, at least 36 inches or more, and run a 12” pipe under the drive way to release the water to the lower side. When looking down the drive way, the left side will spill over

Nice work, this is what I need to do on my own driveway, and because it's steeper than this one, I may put in a few water bars to channel water off to the side and into swales that are cut on-contour, perpendicular to the slope of the hill in order to soak the runoff into the landscape. Swales are always cut on contour, perpendicular to slope -- they don't direct water downhill. So for the excavations that are on either side and parallel to the driveway, I think you mean a drainage -- and those may even end up eroding quite a bit in heavy rainstorms, so you might think about moving the water sideways rather than downhill. This property in particular has plenty of room for swales on either side of the driveway. .
