[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 257997, member: 562"] I purchased a few acres out of town last fall and need to build an approach to enter from a gravel road. Ditch is fairly steep so wondering what steps need to be taken to get this done. Want to keep it reasonably priced, but also built well enough to last. Can anyone with experience give some suggestion as to how to do this in an efficient/practical manner? Any suggestions as to width and what materials to use? One page said you can get crushed rock mixed with clay that will compact well and not allow water to penetrate? Is something like that available in the Bismarck area? How important is it to remove the top 6-10 inches of soil that is high in organic material? Necessary or can you just dump on top of it? I will need a culvert to allow drainage, sounds like plastic/synthetic is better than metal... Did a little searching and it seems like there are 100 different ways to do this, depending on location and materials available, etc. [/QUOTE]
