[QUOTE="nobull1, post: 9118, member: 722"] I would love to see pictures of what you have to work with. It would make it a lot easier to figure out which way to lay it out. Myself I like to start at the top and work my way down, this way you are pushing your spoils down hill. As far as holding the bank up...well it depends on the angle and type of material you have to deal with. When I did the job in the pic's I was reaching as far as I could with the excavator and pretty well had the banks built were I wanted them as I was building the road. The material in this case packed pretty good and was undisturbed soil. You might have to build some retaining walls to hold the ground if the slope or soil don't work out for the intended plan. This is one of those jobs that the more time you spend in preparation/design the less time you will spend doing the job. On hourly jobs I tell customers that the smartest money you can spend is me walking around thinking about what to do instead of just going and digging like a mad man....most agree. Wish I was closer as I would love to help figure it out in person. I love those design and build projects. Brian [/QUOTE]
