Until leaves and mud clog all the rocks like they did on my driveway. We are redigging it now because the leave and the mud created basically new ground and now the water is eating a way the road because it had to where to go. I think some kind of wire needs to be put over to stop leave from getting down side the rock cause I don’t want to have to do this ever again! We got a really long private driveway (hill)

You forgot to mention that you will be repairing/redoing the water channels after every snow removal and heavy rain

Doing what you can to prevent your driveway/road from eroding is always a good idea. It will save you more money and effort than repairing afterward. But that does not change the fact that if that driveway/road was not there, the runoff would be eroding the soil from the hill and into the streams anyway.

@@onetwotulip True. But people are there and those people need a road to travel on that their vehicle can safely traverse. That is why a PROPERLY built and maintained road is so important. Not only do they provide a safe path to travel but can prevent a great deal of erosion at the same time. It is one of the things I was taught as a child. If you do not have the time or resources to do it right the first time, where are you going to find the time a resources to do it again, and again, and again,....

It all boils down to routine maintenance. No such thing as do it once then good for all time. Sad fact of it is the stone needs to be removed, cleaned and re installed at least every year, and depending on the rainfall, more often. In an ideal world, the stone grows over with low vegetation that stays in place during rian events, but never grows so thick so as to impede water flow. The only alternatives to this would be concrete, asphalt or better drainage(more culverts). No one ditch can handle all the water for the length of the road.

Geo cell ground grid. Do it right the first time. And don’t be cheap about it. Engineer your drive and run off. Will be cheaper in the long run.

What is a water bar? I would like more information on this, for my driveway. Thanks.

It's a small shallow ditches like the guy was digging in his driveway. Just a couple inches deep and 6" wide or so to divert water off the driveway in spaced distances to help keep the water from building up into larger flow. We have flow problems and if I go out when its raining it's the best time to see where the flows are heaviest and where they can be diverted.

You can lay kerbs across the drive layed on their side to deflect water running down the drive into a ditch at the side. Not so easy if you have to plow your drive if you forget where it is or do not mark it. But less work than digging a little trench across the drive after every big rain or month.

Not to mention cost…and if you don’t handle the water, the gravel under the asphalt can still wash out and make the paving fail.
