Why Cheap Fixes Can Ruin Your Gravel Driveway!

Great info and commentary!

Totally agree on that width of a driveway there should be a crown of no less than 3” top center to edge of ditch, pulling the edges in and compact the heck out of it, might even need some new material to bring it up to grade. Good assessment 👍🏻

Box blades are the worst for roads, they are better for leveling land. 3-point scrapers bad also… they go up and down with the tractor. The only way to fix roads properly with a tractor is with trailed scrapers that tilt. I’ve got a 12’ tilt scraper from Notch that I run behind my 300HP tractor and because the blade tilts hydraulically, I can easily crown a road. You can’t do that with a mounted box or scraper blade.

If you don’t manage the water the road will fall every time.
