Spade Work

Cleaned up driveway damaged during the deluges of January. I finished this project in a little over a day.

Found all the sand and small gravel washed off into scrub at the bottom left-hand side of the driveway. Cleared a path through the lantana and tall grass, and then dug out the gravel. Would have been around seven loads of light gravel mix from in here.

Carted all the smaller, sandier gravel up to put on top of the larger gravel I scavenged from along and alongside the driveway and used as a base to fill holes.

At the end had a fairly smooth track with some small left over piles of gravel I later used to smooth things out after cars had compacted everything down.
