This is an easy way to shoot grade for a sloped driveway to get it sloped evenly. We roughed in a dirt driveway 2 years ago and are going to widen it and take a large hump out of the beginning to make it a consistent grade.
so, my calculations were different. 96ft run divided by 8ft intervals equals 12 markers, not including the starting point. so the rise between each stake would be shorter than what you calculated. Is that why you were "a little low at the top"? thanks, and thanks for the vid
I guess I need to watch a different video on where to place my rotary laser. To me it seemed like you just randomly placed it somewhere but I suspect you picked that location for a reason. Where do I place my rotary laser? I live in the mountains, we don't have the luxury of a nice easy slope. Our driveways are very steep and often with a bend. How do you suggest I read my laser with a grade change of over 20' from bottom to top of slope? hehehehe
Place it were you still read it at the top. The receiver should be as close to the ground as possible. If you have 20 ft of elevation your gonna need a pole that high, Or you can split it into two sections which would most likely be easier
