[QUOTE="mllud, post: 15408, member: 1012"] I live on a mile long geavel road. The crown is especially important on hills or long slopes . You have to prevent the water from running down the road and building in volume to the point it cuts ruts. The ditches dont have to be any more than enough to handle the water shed. Its not easy to estimate how much water you will have. The flash flooding type rains are what do the damage. We have had to change things and refine our road over the years. And we still get rains that do damage. If you get some hard rains you can get out there while the water is running and see what you have. As for what equipment to use the people here that are in the bussiness can advise you better. The time and money spent doing it right the first time will pay off. Our road was put in by a fly by night realestate broker. Its been a battle corecting his mistakes. Your doing the right thing getting advise now. I am not an expert , just someone thats spent 20 years trying to live with a job poorly done. There is places on our road that the easement isnt wide enough to do it right. I hope you have enough room to make it right. You do have to be carefull about redirecting water on someone else land .Mike [/QUOTE]
