I’m a grader and God I hate my job now that these novices are in the world

Good work addressing the water issues on the road. I will say the ditches you created are not the best from a practical standpoint. They look like they’re waiting for someone to hang a tire too close and they’re ready to suck the vehicle in. Road looks good!

I absolutely love this channel! Great content, great conmemtsry!

I'm liking the channel! cool to see your methods and equipment dude

Former Landscape Architect.... amazing results when you have amazing equipment. You follow rule number 1: if you are going to do a job, do it right the first time. Grading, subbase, drainage, surface treatment, etc all play key parts in driveways, especially gravel ones. Job well done... thanks for sharing.

That why you grade it every 3 months

Fines. Too bad no one knows what that is that doesn’t do that type of work

I have found that 1inch to 1-1/2inch clean crushed rock with NO "fines" last longer, and grabs onto the mud It doesn't wash out or cause potholes and puddles like 3/4 - does.. It is more expensive and doesn't go as far when you spread it but it does the job well... It's not so big that you can't walk on it without bending your ankle and the surface is still easily driven on by all types of vehicles

5:50 Oh, an 800” foot driveway. Thank you so much. Y’all did some great work here!

2:02 Roughly how much did this project cost? And I know that you said that the driveway was 15’ feet wide, but how long was the road? And where do you guys goto for business statewide?

Cost?

Great work. It's interesting how versatile and helpful the bobcat is with its attachments that are available.

But if you have fines at a size smaller than about 0.1 mm you are going to have pour drainage at the surface. My decomposed granite walking paths are always flooded during rain. My walking paths with larger crushed rock drain immediately.

Nice job😊

How does sediment and such play into the longevity of this method?

Does the roller vibrate or just downward pressure from the machine? Thanks.

Good job! I have seen the highway equipment that acts like a Big Blender and blends the soil and gravel for a depth of 2-3 feet with big rocks then they do regular gravel base above that before the final pour.

Why not fix the drainage at the top of the driveway and infront of the shed as well? French drains really do help. Nice driveway job tho

Bro I always look forward to your content.. check out Neil Coch"a does great drive way work too.

Great job!

Looks great! How many Tons of Crush did you use?

Fun tripping hazard at night

Those Gradall Buckets are a MUST have with any mini ex !!

Great to see excellent work with the best equipment! Does the job require any additional compaction after a few rains? Thanks.

Nice job. U make flow real nice. :) I also make flow. Some times they want the water to flow up hill:(

Just found your channel. Thanks for taking the time to share your talent and techniques! I'll definitely be watching your back catalog of videos. I have about 5 miles of gravel roads to maintain. We use compact tractors (40hp or less). Your method of compaction with a skid steer is the thing we need, but just can't fit it in the budget. Have you seen or know of any less expensive ways to add compaction to our maintenance and repair that will work with a compact tractor?

What does a job like that cost?

Shame that after all the work it will be rutted in 2-3 years. Should have put down fabric.

You need Road base people 1.5 in!!!!

where can i get that type of fabric?

Its gonna be hard to keep weeds out of rip rap sand and sod would look better and easier to maintain rip rap is for steep ditches and creek banks that wash hard

Great job! Love your attention to detail when it comes to water runoff and the rip rap ditch! 👍

Thanks for the knowledge. Do you have some sort of tilt attachment that you use with the bucket and compactor? Otherwise how do you get the driveway crowned?

It's getting groovy in here!

Can you tell me what is name of yours Kubota Machine???

Compaction is important, but the material needs to be properly conditioned beforehand. This means moistening the material before rolling it. The material appeared too dry initially. Secondly, a subsurface drain should be installed at the lowest point of the driveway, roughly at its midpoint. This drain should run under the driveway to direct water from one side to the ditch on the other, ensuring proper drainage.

Nice work! What is the cost on this job?

Have you ever "dusted" Portland cement on a finished gravel driveway to form a more solid stable surface?

You keep calling it rip rap.. what size is it. 4 or 6in ? What ive heard called rip rap is 18in to 12in. Oh. Very nice drive. 😊

All about having the correct tools and knowing how to operate them.

Came out great

Job goes well when you have the right tools.

Looks good. What brand roller is that? What kind of tilt attach is on the kubota? Do you have any grade control on the mini-ex? I'm in north MS. Our limestone is from Rogers Group as well. Good looking driveway.

Secret is it needs dug up to lowest point and graded properly

What type of fabric do you use under the rip rap?

The expression is "slip-shod".

Where did you buy the roller at? What was the approximate cost of it? Thanks

Moral of the story: don't buy a house that sits lower than the road.

Great work!

Like selling ice to an Eskimo.
