Trying To Avoid the Driveway Washing Out

Yesterday was spent digging out the inlet to the culvert which had rushing water carrying debris coming from two different seasonal “waterfalls”. We’ve had 9 1/2 “ of rain in the past week and the earth is more than saturated. Since our driveway is 1/2 mile long it is a TOTAL drag when it gets washed out. Jim dug it out hourly most of yesterday. So far so good.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Oh we used to have a drive the same distance, we spent a lot of time on it over the years...water was the main culprit always!

What a lot of work! Not nice, we had friends who had a culvert at the bottom of the garden and it did flood one year right across the garden.

Sounds like more rain than we have gotten... and schools have been closed due to flooding. Kudos to your Jim for all the hard work!
