Should have taken pics, but was too busy...
I recently had my road graded and drainage put in. The expected result happened after the first serious rain (last week) and some of the rock dams gummed up with mud, silt, and leaves, so I got to spend the afternoon cleaning that all out. A couple of them were so filled up they had become solid dams, so I had to pull them apart & rebuild. Found enough rocks around the road to build a few more. Then a few passes with the grader attachment to smooth things out.
Just in time for tomorrow's rain!
Anyone else have long dirt roads to maintain? Mine is almost a mile, all mine to care for. Any tricks, tips, hard-learned lessons or goofs to share?
