No Work Stoppage

Bill and I are going to be gone for a couple of weeks but work will continue at the house. Our drive is going to be worked on. The final layer of driveway material has never been put down. We have a huge drive and parking area and still need to tell people how to get out of it all the time. The trash truck backs on to the grass also.

  So today I spent the afternoon getting a drive expansion ready for the driveway road material. Weed eated the grass real low and then sprayed with Round Up. Laid driveway fabric down to hold the Granite Hybrid Mix we put down for the drive. The fabric stops the rock from being driven into the ground and needing to resurface every couple of years and slows down the encroachment of Bermuda grass. I was able to confiscate enough red rock from other areas that I had enough to line the  back up area.The little rocks in the middle are simply holding the fabric in place until the guys get here to put stuff on top.
Last spring's torrential rains showed us some problem areas on the drive with wash out so they will be addressing those issues also. We will come home to a spiffy drive. We will just need to compact it to make it great.
