So as its been noted, when you have experience, you can lay that gravel down the driveway as thick as you'd like it. 3", 4", 6"... just set your tailgate chains, which your boy didn't, and control depth w speed. Too easy. When i do it, you dont need a tractor and you can barely see where one load stops and the next load starts.😁😎
Good job. I'd get a road roller on there and thst will add years to the project

Pretty cool right?! I’m excited for you guys to come see it once the build is done!
Boxblade for the tractor would have help you save a lot, and be useful in the longterm.

I watched again and thoroughly enjoyed the commentary and the Step by step description of the steps taken! Excellent job!
How wide is that fabric please? and did they crown the driveway? And did you $15 k include the stone?
That is the worse tailgating of stone along a driveway I have seen. Must have been a new driver. The experienced drivers can lay down a fairly consistent layer until the truck is empty.

great question, we used crushed concrete with brick mixed in(that's why it has that red color to it)
Looking good, where did you purchase the fabric underlayment if you don't mind me asking?

Beautiful driveway. When you say $10 to $15 a foot. Is that linear foot or square foot? How wide was your driveway?

$15,000 for linear. $120,000 for SF. (assuming 8ft wide). Answer: It's linear.
Are you saying you paid 10-15k for that guy to scrape your ground 2”?

This is the opposite of DIY.
How is this DIY when you hired it out? You just rolled out the underlayment…

We hired someone to operate the machinery but we did everything else ourselves and we orchestrated the whole thing.
