I finally got around to taking some pics of the job I did last week to prevent my driveway from flooding at the entrance to my place.
The entrance....
The folks north of me have been clearing hundreds of acres of land to make it farmable,
and all that run off is too much for the original culvert I put in 17 years ago.
That is the original culvert on the left, we opened the creek , at this point ,to flow into the new culvert on the right also. Hope this will now handle tha water.
Entrance to culverts from the north...
Exit to South side of culverts..
I also built a levee along the side of the creek to keep it in ....just in case we get more than the 2 culverts can handle.
I been working the past 2 days smoothing, seeding the levee.
I sure hope my driveway problems are solved.
