We finally had a chance to work on the potholes and low spots in our stone driveway after a full season of neglect and I'll share with you the 10 easy steps I used to upkeep it. I used the John Deere 755 compact tractor, the John Deere 310SE backhoe, a John Deere 318 garden tractor with pull type grader box and my Ford F-750 dump truck to fix up our driveway.

The driveway looks fantastic and it makes all the difference in the look of your property. It's great to see the whole family out working on a project together. Giving your girls this kind of responsibility is one of the best things you can do for them as a parent. They won't be afraid of responsibility and work as adults and have much better lives because of it.

It really looks good. The girls made all the difference. When my daughter was your girls' age, she used to love helping me with outdoor chores, especially when she got to drive the tractor. My three granddaughters were the same way only they had to take turns driving. LOL

Vary nice! What I learned from your driveway videos is that the area that needs more stone needs to be ruffed up before adding the stone. I do not have a gravel drive but I have seen people just add more stone all the time and be frustrated with the stone just coming out of the potholes. They had a small garden tractor so all they needed was the box scraper and the knowledge of how to do it.

Nice, well crafted video and project...I completely get it. Unlike many RU-vidrs your property is beautifully maintained. We shared a ½ mile private gravel road with 10 home owners on 10 acre lots. I had a JD 2025R with a loader and a landscape rake.I am retired and would spend hours driving back and forth then just staring at it thinking what I would do differently the next time for improvements. We had lots of water in PA and the road was used heavily. Had to keep a crown on the road to avoid the formation of potholes. Most fun I had with that tractor...that and using the 3 point roto-tiller to plant things the deer would harvest before me. I watched this video after seeing Wes work on your RV...I subscribed to your channel.

Don't let Neil make yo feel inferior. Most Hoosiers have driveways dotted with oil stains and old engine blocks, and new driveway gradually forms around the pot holes. I do admire his driveway though. A beautiful blend of art and OCD.

Why does everyone keep saying "OCD"? 😁 In reality, the reason that I grade my driveway so often is just to erase all the oil spots that form every week. It helps keep the dust down.
