Excavation |
|
|
|
On October 18, we started excavation. By the end of the day, the driveway was cut in and the area where the house will be was cleared of top soil. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
After the bulldozer made a few passes, the fine work was done by the backhoe. The finished driveway will be 12 feet wide. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Next, a 15 foot wide by 50 foot long section of "geo-mat" had to be placed down. This material is required by York County conservation regulations and is designed to keep the rock from sinking into the soil. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
After the geo-mat, 6 inches of #1 (4 inch) stone was put down. After construction is complete next spring, we will be laying down a top coat of 2B Modified crushed stone. |

Here is inspector Collen checking the work. In this picture, the driveway is dug up to the point where it will start making a sweeping left-hand turn to curl around the end of the garage. |
