What happens here

After the initial bulk earthmoving, the focus shifts to fine grading and meticulously blending the new driveway entrance. The ASV RT-75 Posi-Track skid steer loader is utilized for precision work, eliminating any remaining 'waves' or imperfections and creating smooth, natural transitions between the new driveway and the surrounding terrain. This process also involves integrating the old driveway sections back into the landscape seamlessly, making the entire area appear less recently disturbed. The ultimate goal is to achieve a functional and aesthetically pleasing driveway with proper drainage, crowned for water runoff, that blends harmoniously with the property. The creator mentions that asphalt millings will be added in the future to complete the driveway surface.

Goal: Achieve a finished, smooth, and natural-looking driveway entrance that integrates seamlessly with the landscape and provides optimal function.

Tools and materials

  • Asphalt millings — The intended final surface material for the driveway (mentioned as future work)
  • Fill soil Existing on-site — Refining contours, filling minor depressions, and blending surfaces

where i worked why do i do that sound all right let's so let's fix this up let's let's continue to bulk off over there then let's add some soil in here and then we also have to contour all the way down this way so that we don't have any sharp ridges like this so we're going to start filling this in because this is where our cars are going to drive with the bulking phase nearing completion i can start to switch gears and go into the finessing and grading stage this is where i fine tune and tweak everything i eliminate all the waves in the roads i blend the new driveway with the old driveway and then with the old road coming into [Music] it [Music] so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to pick this driveway up from around the corner over here and i'm not changing any grades but i want the driveway to not seem so fresh so i'm just going to borrow a little of the top dressing from throughout here and define the area because we're not importing the asphalt millings uh somebody else is and when they come out they may not know exactly where to go and if i can outline that area a little better and just say hey here's the driveway and let the neighbors here i mean let these people here start to you know use it and compact it and everybody else define those areas it just makes life easier so let's get defining [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i heard this area this actual driveway because these were really old farms and the road used to come in that way over a hundred years old like 101 or something like that so i guess technically we're working on a 101 year old gravel driveway but here she is done here oh pow hills carved out contours are blended here here asphalt millings will go in that'll create the crown for the new driveway i wanted to soften this up there was no way grass was going to grow this driveway would look like a driveway if i didn't import and put some new material in right along here and now as we look down i say that's a pretty straight run we don't have a lot of top dressing on the driveway but we didn't import any zip all we did was just borrow big borrowing steel came down go this way all right you guys well that's our video for today i'm i'm not done by far so if you guys see another video and it looks like i'm dressed exactly the same because i'm going over to my land and we got a lot a lot of work to do we're gonna drive
