Posted by Thomas2 on March 07, 2005 at 09:09:54 from (65.223.237.178):
Going to put in a 800 foot driveway on a bare piece of land. Plan is to dig down 6-8 inches, push dirt off to the sides and then and backfill with larger rock (1"s, 2", or 4"s.) on bottom and then topdress with 411 birm, etc. A few questions:
I have driven a combine and tractors, etc, how hard is it to learn to use a rented dozer - D4 or D5 to do this? How deep do I want the excavation? I plan to have about 8" of total depth of stone...do I want to end up flush with the surrounding dirt surface or slighly above grade? This is pretty level land, just digging a 10 ft wide swath... What about those new fabrics...what do they cost per linear foot, and are they worth it?
This will be for a future homesite. Thanks for your help.
