Our Story:
We are five years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our journey!

It sure is hot when Bella is not running around all over the place. Pond and fan seems to be her motto today. You guys be careful with that heat. I miss Florida, but not such heat. Good job

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

July and August were really hot this year but it's cooling down a little now....around 90!! Bella is smart to cool off after chasing birds. Thanks for watching.

[@aaronburford5701]

I appreciate your attention to details, i enjoy your wife enjoying and providing commentary. It looks great!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It changed the way we use our equipment shed! Thanks for watching.

@@PineyGroveHomestead I have subscribed and shared your channel! I am a fan!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I am intrigued by that Geo-cell system. It would be cool if I could do something like that to the steep trail I have going up the hill.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

You've seen it person! We love it so far and it's had a 5" rain on it....nothing moved!

[@paullapato9447]

I'm doing a similar project, I haven't wtched the entire series yet but you will need to include a border around the cells for increased stability.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's been 3 months and we drive our excavator and tractor on it.....no issues. Like concrete!

[@paullapato9447]

@@PineyGroveHomestead Good to hear and congrats with the project.

Long time watcher, first time subscriber. You make great content. I just started my channel and I believe we’ll have a lot of overlap in our types of content. Thanks for doing what you’re doing!

@@PineyGroveHomestead thank you!

[@juanmartinezmbapmppmiacp2104]

Thanks for the info. This seems like a fix to my driveway that sinks when I drive my heavy RV on it.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

They are ideal for parking pads!

[@jareds6611]

Wow, that stuff is pretty expensive. 9' x 17' for $125? Unless I am reading it wrong on the website, the thicker grids are less than the smaller ones so something doesnt seem right. I would love to use this on my driveway but its over a half mile long. Maybe just on the couple steep hill parts?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I would save it for problem areas like turns and slopes where you don't think gravel will stay put. Thanks for watching.

[@JoeGlines-Automator]

Is it a requirement to do this on the hottest day of the year? 😅. Also, while some might consider me brave, I'm not brave enough to try to get my wife to help me. Lol Thank you so much for the video!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It's hot a lot in Florida, but August was killer this year! That's why there wasn't much shoveling. Thanks for watching.

[@allpraisebob]

Not a rhetorical question: why did you choose the geocell grid over, say, just putting some landscaping fabric in between the road base and gravel? The fabric is certainly a lot cheaper and reportedly does a good job of keeping the larger rocks from getting pushed deeper into the sand over time, but maybe it's not so good at holding the gravel in place on a slope as compared to the geo cell?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Our concern was losing rock to running water....we get pretty severe rainstorms here in Florida. We weren't concerned as much with rock pushing down from driving pressure. In a perfect world where everything is free and easy and we have lots of time, we would do both!! Thanks for watching.

[@koblescar]

How do you fix wash boarding and potholes with this system? I live in North Dakota so our winters are hard on roads...

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I would check out this channel. I don't know them but they put out this video and a 1 year follow up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfCaYybrNGGfs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ6pnZSEj7SUbsk

[@johnbrooks7937]

Where is the fabric ( very important) that goes over the dirt, then you grid and gravel.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

You only need that if you have soil that will absorb the gravel over time. We have a layer of road base then the limestone gravel.

[@Purple_Squirrel_Exotics]

What do you use to secure the grid to the ground?

[@shanebiggers8437]

I’d prob just sprinkle it all the way up with the tractor I’m not an expert though

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

You might see that in the next video! Thanks for watching.

[@shanebiggers8437]

@@PineyGroveHomestead I love watching your videos! Keep up the hard work!

[@carlgrayman7663]

Seems like it would have been a lot easier to just start at the bottom and sprinkle your way up allowing to drive up it as you go. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That might be in the next video! We had to learn the best way as we went.

[@ryanhansen8312]

@@PineyGroveHomestead Ive done a few of these and this suggestions of working your way up is spot on. I do very little hand work. You have to be a little careful back blading but I front blade it with a skidsteer as well. Keep and eye on it and adjust bucket height as needed for being 1" above grid
