I see a couple of things here:
1. Dust is still going to be a bit of a problem after the gravel has worked into the ground over time and traffic. In the west, we use MAG (magnesium chloride) to prevent dust. It "sucks" water out of the air and so it stays damp.
2. A flat culvert won't self-drain and so will fill with silt. It can't be self-cleaning so prepare for that. Prepare the inlet with grasses to trap silt there instead of in the culvert. You may have to extract it occasionally and wash it out.

My Dad always had a gravel pile for my brother and I to spread, did it by wheelbarrow, shovel and rake. Took awhile but it kept us busy and not getting into trouble

[electrake]

What I find odd is that you didn’t just get a full 8-9, or 14-16 yard truck to deliver it. It costs LESS, and with that kind of land just store the extra somewhere for other uses. I’ve NEVER ordered less than a truckload of material because I like having a bit of extra available for other projects, and I seem to ALWAYS need more than I thought I would need.

[markosborne]

You need to plant grass/sod to keep it from washing out. Living here in North Florida the roots will hold the sand together.

[mrpete]

I'm surprised that you went with granite. Normally people here in Florida go with the native limestone. Granite is not native to the state, so it is typically brought in by rich people for landscaping.

[Navyuncle]

I live in Southern Illinois. I bought 8 tons of grade 8 delivered and spread for $180.00 . I would like to have the gravel concession where you live. I know limestone is less than $8.00/ton at the quarry.

[charlesyates]

I would put atleast a 6" plastic colvert uder the drive where the ditch meets it and about 4' of chicken wire on each side of the colvert on both sides of the drive to hold the gravel in place .

I was today years old when I found out a small pile of gravel is heavy! Hank please adopt me! I want to play with all your cool tools!

[frankmoreau]

Crushed gravel with fines weighs about 2700 lbs. per yard. Clear, no fines weighs about 2200 per yard. That makes your load about 3.5 yards. Using the native crushed rock here and it's about $350 for a 10 yard dump truck load.

[BigTader]

Hank you need to dig a hole deeper than the culvert pipe and put rip rap stone in the hole to keep the sand out of your pipe.

[jackvanbourgondien]

Nice video. What you could do though Hank is put some bales of hay around the entrance of the covert and that will prevent the sand from getting in there that stone will work for a little bit but not for long.

[johnhelbig]

Hank, I’ve not seen enough of your past videos to know your plans for that sand flat with the ditch down the middle. If the ditch is going to be long term, you might look at a PTO driven rotary drainage ditcher. Has an impeller that throws the dirt/sand out to the side; kinda like a snow blower. Probably only take 15-20 minutes to clean the whole length of it. Good luck, sir!

[suehonm]

You show dig it back out and line the ditch with riprap that will stop the erosion and the clogging of the culvert

[stevemartinez]

A couple of things. First, it looks like you have some good clay under the sand layer on your property. I could use some of that in areas around our place.

Second, I really like that dump trailer. It doesn't have all of the "bells and whistles", but it gets the job done and would suit my needs very well.

[laserflexr]

Now who could resist the invite to ride sidekick, whatever the adventure might be, when asked, Ya'ant to?

[jnewyorkt]

Thats about 3 yards at about 2000lbs a yard, so about 6 to 7000lbs, I only know this because I carry one yard at 2000lbs in the bed of my Ram 3500, they load by the bag.

[carlmauro]

7000# is about 3 yards. What's really heavy is item-4 which is rock dust and gravel. That's about 1.5 tons per yard.

[johncrump]

Wow $350 for that much gravel here in wv I get 5 ton for $85

[c.carney]

The closer to the gulf coast you get the higher the price for crushed gravel. Most of it has to come in by railroad.

[gordharley]

Why didn't you use the dump/spread option on that trailer.
