Our Next Big Project, the Driveway

Posted on by Julia

Tomorrow, we are having our driveway repaired. The big flood we had on March 15 of this year caused a lot of gravel to wash off the bottom of the driveway aka the section by the road. We also have gravel from the driveway at the top of the hill washing away after each gullywasher.

Here’s the condition of the driveway today.

The area at the top of the hill gets worse after each big rainstorm. With the driveway getting worse after each rainstorm, we decided we needed to get the driveway repaired. It is a mess.

We had a driveway specialist come out from Bama Dirt on July 1st and give us a quote.

    1. Not necessary. Heavy rains can wash underneath a paved driveway and wash it out. Also, for a driveway as long as ours, it is serious money, way more than we want to spend.
