Just a little advice from a ex- Roadmaster for my township. When we redo are dirt roads we cut the shoulder's for water run off. It looks like some parts of your drive way are entrenched where the yard is higher than the driveway. Cut that down to where the water can run off into the yard. Great looking homestead!! Love the content!
I also run a grader for a township and I was about to post the same suggestion. If you can’t get the water to leave the drive then no amount of rock will keep a surface that will hold up for any amount of time.
The best part of living in the country and having a long gravel driveway is security. It’s like a built in alarm/notice. As soon as tires hit the driveway you can hear the hum. I always know when somebody is here. If it were paved I wouldn’t know until they were at the house.
That’s a great point I’ve never thought of as a bonus. I have a slew of dogs who hear it first and bark but I’ll never think of that sound the same again. Cheers!
Great job explaining the process. When we put our house in, it took 54 tri-axle loads of shale (crushed stone) just to create the base. Our driveway is about 1/4 mile long. Each year, we add about 44 tons of gravel to the driveway to keep that good top layer on it (to keep vehicles from getting dirty, and to avoid potholes/mud puddles.).
Looking good Adam. Good call on the crusher run - a good 3-4 inches will makes for an excellent surface from my experience. I saw a comment below and I agree - it would be really helpful for you to grade down the shoulders of any sections where your lawn is at , or higher than, the level of the driveway. Good luck - looking forward to the end result!
Nicely done! My driveway is about a third the length of yours and I maintain it once or twice a year with a box blade and landscape rake. Makes it look brand new again. Thanks for sharing!
I feel your pain we go through the same thing every year with our driveway but ours is a quarter mile long. We are putting down new stone as soon as everything dries up this spring.
Hi Adam. Our driveway is 900' long. It started out gravel, but after 2 years, we bit the bullet and paved it with 4" of blacktop. The gravel was a pain in the rear. We could deal with the dust and dirt, but the washboard was a backbreaker. It was so bad that families wouldnt drive down it. Yes, you do need to sealcoat it every 2 or 3 years, and fill cracks, but after 18 years, it still looks great. Best investment we have made to the property. I really enjoy your channel. Love your content!!
Thanks for the comment Sarah. I figure it’s easier to box blade the driveway a couple times a summer with the tractor then go out there and reseal the driveway by hand. Let the tractor do the work than my physically spreading sealer. I would love to have a blacktop driveway but it just seems like a lot more physical labor to maintain than sitting on a tractor haha. Do you seal it yourself or hire someone?
@@HometownAcres We have a total of 12,000 sq ft of blacktop, when you include the big circle up by the house. Too much for me to do. We hire a local contractor to do the sealcoat and crack fill. Usually around $2500 every 3 years. The only labor I do on it is blowing it clean with my gas blower. Which for some reason, i really enjoy!! One thing I should add is our driveway has a huge dip in it, for about 400'. Thats where the washboard occurred. And it was BAD! Your driveway looks fairly flat with a mild slope to the main road? I saw you with Mike Morgan. Been hooked ever since. You remind me of myself 20 years ago, when we bought our property. Except your alot smarter than me ; ) Best of luck to you and your family!! PS.. This is actually Peter. Sara is my wife. I use her email, so her name and pic show up. Like I said, not smart enough to figure out how to change that!
What did it cost for 900' paved? I have mine two driveways priced including around shop and barn...oil prices..and this economy...small Fortune is an understatement...it's almost, if not more than concrete...
Here in NY, most of our counties will sell you road grindings. I got a couple loads a few years ago at100.00 a load. We have to be on the list for them. And they have to be paving in the area you live. Just another option tou could look at. Nice job with the tractor though!!!!
That's a serious project you took on. Props to you. I was anticipating either a hard box blade followed by land plane, or a power rake for the whole thing. My reaction (of astounded) is the same as when I watch others do this and pull up a lot of buried rock. I end up thinking back to the time when our short driveway was 2B stone and should've adopted our neighbor's Ford 8N. Would've used a box blade during a dry time for a quick fix. Otherwise, it'd have been the power rake.
You should consider using 2A crushed concrete. 2B limestone has no aggregate to keep it together. 2A crushed concrete, will have fines and dust. Once the dust gets wet and compacted, it will lock together much better. Also, 2A CC will be much cheaper than 2B limestone.
Well said Adam!! Country driveways aren't blacktop!! That's the same way we at our farm adjust our turnbuckles on the 3pt. A good dump truck driver should be able to tailgate spread that to a depth of 2" if they adjust there chains for the tailgate!! Stay safe my friend!!
Adam: You're in a Catch 22 Situation. For me a little maintenance evet (?) so many years is one of the better options. I think you have a very good heard on your shoulders & are good with Financial figures. An with that said, I'll catch on the the next one!
Good work. I used to grade my 1km driveway but these days I slip the grader driver a couple of cases of beer when the council access road gets graded. Takes him about 15 minutes to do, where it took me about 4 hours.
You need Mike Morgan's land plane with the rippers on it. That will bring the rock up and it spreads at the same time and you can tilt it like your box blade to build your crown. Those land planes are great!
Hi Adam. Keep an eye out for reclaimed asphalt from construction companies. It's cheap and you don't have to do it all at once. I recommended it to Ohio wood burner with the muddy wood yard. Cheers
good video Adam that is a long driveway I am like you I would go with the lime stone asphalt is way to expensive and you still have to maintain it thanks for sharing good luck take care
Great video man! I literally just did the same thing and am working on the video now! The only easier way I know to adjust the turnbuckle is to make it hydraulic! take care
You might consider having asphalt put down for the last 50 to 100 ft. It would really cut down on the amount of dirt and mud that ends up in your garage and the cost for that as well as time put into maintenance would be much less than if you did the entire length of your driveway.
Timely video. My driveway is a mess. Actually, your entire channel is timely as my wife and I bought an old 35 acre horse farm in MN last year. Many of the same projects. House came with a wood boiler so I'm trying to figure out the best system for firewood.
Looks good Adam. I conquer with G O BushCraft the ditches need attention and to be opened up. It looks like the material is pushing out to the ditch line. If you go with a thicker layer of 2 A lime stone. Then top dress with Dust and 1s. It will pack in every bit as nice as Black top. Only needing to be road racked in one or twice a year. I use a 12' York toed behind my F250 pickup.
Add top and tilt hydraulic cylinders to your 3 point hitch. Once you use them you will wonder how you ever got by without them. It makes it easy to crown your driveway without leaving the driver's seat. A crown is critical... as the old saying goes, "a gravel driveway without a ditch becomes a ditch".
love it. when you live in the country, you have a gravel driveway. Just had a truck load delivered. Approximately 23 ton a load. So, guessing 3 loads will get r done. Called McClymonds, you may know them. this was last month. At that time they were approximately $25 a ton. I have more info on who to ask for as a driver if you use them because he is great at tailgating.
If you look into gold mining you can see how to make a DIY trommel to let you wash the dirt out of the gravel so you can get rid of the mess. When mixed with a lawn roller you can get a good quality driveway off castoff materials. You will want to dig a recirculate pool to both catch the silt/mud and to not need as much water overall.
Nice job with the box blade. That’s a long driveway. My driveway is 260’ long and I thought that was long. Stone will make a big difference. Should look nice to. Stay safe.
Just my two cents worth...forget the clean 2B - go for dirty 2RC. 2RC packs like it's cement because it's full of rock dust. Then, as suggested in another comment, work on getting your 'berms' to drain correctly - doing so cuts down on surface maintenance. Enjoy your videos - thank you.
I second this. I will be too dressing mine with 3/4” limestone and asked company if I should go with clean or down which is a mix so it packs. They recommend even when top dressing to go with the down mix as it will stay in place better and the clean is more for drainage applications.
@@elasgardenvegetables YEP! I hauled out of quarries and all the guy's working in the quarry always said to use 2RC for non-paved roads. When that rock dust gets wet, it acts like cement. Besides all that, 2RC is cheaper because it doesn't go through extra screening processes to eliminate the rock dust that produces the 'clean' 2's.
I got neighbors that layed asphalt on their drives and after 2 years it was breaking up, cracking with no heavy traffic, just cars and 1/2 ton pickups. Asphalt millings hold up good but you need to lay it down in hot weather, roll it, and a little thicker. I had it where I parked a semi, 18 wheeler beside my house, it's still there but covered with grass as I haven't drove truck since 2011.
*SUGGESTION:* Just buy cement bags, and incorporate the cement in with the dirty gravel. Then...if cost allows...lay down a roll of top dress reinfrocing. *Lower cost concrete driveway.* #CleanVehicles
*Driveway worked up well! Get what you want but I would put 2A limestone down. Some call it 2b modified. It is 2B with dust in it and it packs nice and tight. 2B is the standard but it tends to move a lot. Better for light mud. With your driveway and having a crown as you drive on it it will tend to push out to the sides. I have a gravel business just my opinion not telling you what to do. Even #67 is a bit smaller and doesnt move as much. If you go 2b and end up having this issue you can always get just the dust and spread it light over it later to get the same result.* #WorldsOkayestFarmer
I have a long driveway to it get very dusty.I’m trying to figure what to put.I’m not putting black top I don’t have the money for I gravel driveway .Thank you for sharing
You might look into using calcium chloride for dust control. Ask your neighbors and local people in the road building and maintenance business to find out if it is cost effective in your area.
One is old building of the neighbors... the smaller one is owned by the gas company and shelters their equipment... both are in poor condition and nothing Adam can do about them. :(
The app he mentions is called "Find Lot size" and the website for calculating gravel was inchcalculator.com, then search for "gravel driveway" Hope this helps:)
Thanks so much for making this video. My wife and I moved to a home in VT at the end of a half mile long dirt driveway which hasn't been maintained in 25-30 years. After all of the years of plowing snow and heavy rain that has run down the driveway, some pretty big rocks are starting to be exposed. Is it not advisable to use the ripper shanks in this scenario, or are they designed in a way that if they hit something too big they won't get damaged or damage the entire box blade? Is there another way I could prep the driveway similar to this video prior to putting stone down?
You can just sit the blade on the ground n adjust it as far as possible then raise n lower again, adjust some more til it's where you want it cause you won't always have that block w you.
Are you planning to put any geotextile down before the 2b limestone? As Mike from OWTM says it will save from the limestone sinking into the original ground surface
Great video! Could you have just added the new gravel on top of the driveway as it was? Why did you need to rip it with the box blade before? We enjoy your content!
I'm seriously considering a hydraulic side tilt cylinder to go with my hydraulic top link. I think the between the two, I'll be able to manipulate my Implements like crazy!!!
Are you happy with the width of your box blade? It appears to be 72"? I'm considering getting a box blade for my CK3510SE and am pretty sure the 6' will work, but just wanted to check from someone with experience.
You also need to put some geotextile down before you put the new stone on top go to outdoors with the Morgans and you will see what i am talking about it will keep the stone from sinking into the mud and stone you already have on there
I feel your pain. We live on a hill with 3 natural springs on our neighbors property. We have a 96x 40 pond 16ft deep thst is used to control run odd from them ( trying to keep it off our driveway is a nitemare. Now I know why the people sold this house) we sold out lk30 kioti and went with a kioti 2610 . Do you think ur added hp is help full? Or are your tires loaded
When it comes to lifting stuff with the loader the extra HP doesn’t mean anything but when it comes to pulling ground engaging equipment it definitely matters and yes our tires are loaded
You’ll see the stone delivered and spread in the next video coming out Sunday. 3 triaxles cost about $1,950 and we got 620 feet of our 820 ft driveway restoned. 2a limestone here was 29.30/ton
@@HometownAcres yeah, I'm gonna need to up my RUclips game, win the lottery, or sell a kidney.... I think I have the same stuff on top of my drive as you. I know the base is good. I get the same issues as you.
Haha the f150 has no problem with traction I’m just tired of washing the truck to have it covered in dust 24 hours later. Plus everything inside the garage getting covered in dust too

Pave an area that is about 1.5 tire circumferences long (or a car length) in front of the garage. Cleaner tires and a place to wash cars and eq.

When it comes to lifting stuff with the loader the extra HP doesn’t mean anything but when it comes to pulling ground engaging equipment it definitely matters and yes our tires are loaded
You thinking about a weed barrier?
I used metal slag on my driveway it will not go anywhere, cost was the same as gravel
Great video! What do you estimate the cost of the rock will be???? Im in the process of doing the same with my driveway at about 500’.
You’ll see the stone delivered and spread in the next video coming out Sunday. 3 triaxles cost about $1,950 and we got 620 feet of our 820 ft driveway restoned. 2a limestone here was 29.30/ton
@@HometownAcres thank you
Cut a swale on right side going up, give the water somewhere to go
Would it make sense to put geo textile down now before the 2b lime stone?
We already have a really solid base so I don’t think so. If we were putting in a new driveway from scratch it would make sense
needs ditches and culverts
The trucks can spread a bit, but they can't under the wires. Too bad when they made that driveway they didn't just stay on one side of the pole line.
Plus if you have heavy loads on your drive asphalt will breakup fast and allot of money
Blacktop driveways especially large ones are a maintenance nightmare. Gravel yes blacktop no way! Have had both!
Thanks for the insight
@@HometownAcres You are welcome

With your toy tractor
I'm in a similar situation except my driveway is 2168ft long. Sigh....
That sounds like $$$$$$$ haha
@@HometownAcres yeah, I'm gonna need to up my RUclips game, win the lottery, or sell a kidney.... I think I have the same stuff on top of my drive as you. I know the base is good. I get the same issues as you.
As an avid four wheel drive enthusiast I disapprove of this video. 😃
Haha the f150 has no problem with traction I’m just tired of washing the truck to have it covered in dust 24 hours later. Plus everything inside the garage getting covered in dust too
@@HometownAcres oh I understand the struggle!
If someone NEEDS hard surfaced material for a driveway, they should stay in the city.

People don't mind spending your money.

You seem awkward with everything you do.
