The young couple is an Air Force family who lives on several acres in a wonderful little house in the middle of the property. Their driveway had reached the point where their passenger car could almost not navigate it anymore.
When I arrived, here is what I found. The end of their driveway was constantly under water anytime it rained. The tin horn was also plugged on both ends.
After a few hours of work, the driveway looked great.
Aside from grading the driveway (the customer was not ready to pay yet for gravel), the most important thing I did was build a swale on the uphill side of the road. Flowing water is terribly damaging so we want to keep it OFF the driveway in as much as possible.
Even after heavy storms, this is what the driveway looked like a few weeks later. When the customer is ready, it'll make a perfect bed for some good crusher run gravel.
