Driveway drain installed

Over the past years, Rose Ellis has had problems with surface water running onto her driveway. In the winter this water will collect and freeze on the driveway causing driving/walking problems. This week I dug a ditch with my backhoe along the uphill side of the driveway. We then laid drain pipe and gravel in the ditch to collect and remove the surface water. In the following photo I give extra attention to one large rock in the ditch.
