This project involved traveling to a very remote area south of Perkins. My customer has a beautiful acreage but consistently struggled with erosion across their driveway. Here are some 'before' pictures showing all the erosion.
We didn't have much to work with so I harvested some dirt from an obscure place on the property and used it to help level the driveway. I also used the rippers on the box blade to work the dirt a bit. Because I already had the backhoe on the tractor, I attached it to the front end loader to save time (and money for the customer).
This is not a very good picture and was taken before final grooming of the trench. To the right, the land rises for quite a distance and this new trench will capture the water before crossing the driveway.
The end result was not only immediately driveable, as a long term solution it is ready for the customer to have gravel delivered and thus make a very nice entrance into their fantastic property. On the left of this picture is a new trench to capture most of the water before it ever hits the driveway.
