Driveway fix...

So, been wanting to do some work on my Mom's driveway for sometime now. It's been too steep since she bought the place 25yrs ago, & had really gotten in disrepair. It hasn't had any significant work done on it in well over a decade. She had gotten some bids from excavators, & known road guys, but just couldn't swing the price. I offered to help, & have a buddy with dozer.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any before pics. Lets just say, it had multiple deep ruts in it, combined with the steepness was problematic. In her 70's, I worried about the rescue squad being able to make it up her road, especially with snow on it.

Spent all day Thursday, & half of today, playing in the dirt. Here's a few pics:



My buddy on the dozer, moving tons of material.



I'm on the 310 digging out the old drain pipes...



Helping move material..



Huge difference....!





Got the 3039R into the action, doing some touching up before gravel...





Had to take a few limbs out, for the dump truck....








All in all, pretty happy with how it all turned out. My Mom had gotten bids from $6-9,000. We spent $2,000 which included 40 tons of crusher. At the crest of the steep part, took 3.5 - 4' feet out of the slope. Really is noticeable. Especially driving up it after.

Figured some of y'all might dig the pics...
