Implement Drainage and Erosion Control

What happens here

Effective water management is crucial for the longevity of a gravel path. The video highlights how past rainstorms caused 'huge wash spots' due to improper drainage. Create a slight crown or slope on the path to direct water away from the center and towards the sides. Ensure that water can drain off the path and into adjacent landscaping or drainage channels, rather than accumulating on the surface or eroding the path itself. This might involve building up certain sections of the path (as described for the driveway) to alter water flow. For significant erosion problems, consider installing small culverts or French drains.

Goal: Design and create proper drainage solutions to manage rainwater and prevent washouts and erosion of the newly resurfaced path.
