    You needed to dig out the bottom of the water puddles, and rebuild the crown on the drive to shed the water. Think of the puddles like a bowl of cereal. When a car drives over it will splash out all your fill material. It would also be good to cut the ridge off the outer edge of the drive to allow water to drain off.

      If the driveway is going to remain gravel,a crown is necessary right?But if it is a base for concrete dose there need to be a crown?

    The water in that hole wasn't a problem, but for those to not come back again you need to dig up/rough up the bottom of them. Like a lot of fines are compacted in there and if you just fill them with loose gravel they come back over time
    But yeah, that yard needs some work with the drainage regardless lol

    I have a few people down this way that are “famous” in the area for different reasons. However, I still hear bad things about them and still win jobs from under them regularly. Don’t let the social media aspect of things dissuade you from pushing forward. There’s TONS of work out there those guys are missing out on that people like you are scooping up every single day. You’re doing good bro. Keep up the good work

    Nice to see young guys hustle! It’s always good to see!
    As far as the driveway, I would of probably scoop up the good material from there then make a small trench for water to get out, take the dirt from the right side of the yard and fill the pot hole back up with it. If you take enough dirt out of the right side, it should bring the elevation down and water should naturally run into the culvet therefore preventing a big pool of water on the side, but again that’s if there no utilities line around that area. A landplane with a tilt attachment would work great for a project like that. Carolina Attachment LLC makes a great Landplane or just rent mine!

    Could’ve drained that puddle quick by just cutting a grove in the grass side to drain, scooping it will never get all the water out thus leading to another pot hole eventually

    You have to have a smooth bucket to do that type of word. Also you have to cut the edges off the driveway. You really needed to cut the lower part of the driveway off and moved it to the upper side. That place would be a perfect candidate for a harley rake.

    Also on the driveway, I think you dug down low enough to disrupt those potholes personally. Like others said you gotta get down and break them up for the repair to last a while! However, gravel driveway maintenance is a constant thing that always needs to be done, so maybe that’ll be a job you come back to in a year and can make more money on again
