NH Driveway
Looking to build a dirt driveway myself in NH I’ll have an excavator and all other equipment rented when the time comes it will be 12’-15’ wide and 700’ long the current pitch is roughly 15% and I’m trying to get that down to 10% over 100’ while creating the driveway. Is 80 tons of “primary run” gravel enough and any tips. Obviously clear top soil first… then start the process of larger to smaller rocks and add drainage before final gravel Anyone suggest using mesh to keep everything together or will I be okay if I pack it all down? There is one large boulder on the property dead center of where the driveway is going I’m going to try to build up below so I can get over it. Any suggestions? Tips or tricks? submitted by /u/Chance_Bumblebee_690 [link] [comments]
