What happens here

The presenter emphasizes that completing the driveway involves multiple passes to ensure even distribution of gravel, proper crowning for water runoff, and a perfectly smooth finish. He first works on the long, sloped driveway section, focusing on establishing the crown. Then, he moves to the flat parking area, making circular passes to spread and level the gravel evenly. The effectiveness of the TR3 rake minimizes the time and effort required for maintenance. He highlights that a few passes are sufficient to achieve a beautiful, functional driveway, preventing issues like washouts and maintaining a tidy appearance. He successfully addresses low spots and grass infiltration, leaving the driveway in excellent condition.

Goal: The final step involves making multiple passes to achieve a smooth, properly crowned driveway and a level parking area.
