10 Steps To A Perfect Stone Driveway! (She's The One Behind It All!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- We finally had a chance to work on the potholes and low spots in our stone driveway after a full season of neglect and I'll share with you the 10 easy steps I used to upkeep it. I used the John Deere 755 compact tractor, the John Deere 310SE backhoe, a John Deere 318 garden tractor with pull type grader box and my Ford F-750 dump truck to fix up our driveway.

The driveway looks fantastic and it makes all the difference in the look of your property. It's great to see the whole family out working on a project together. Giving your girls this kind of responsibility is one of the best things you can do for them as a parent. They won't be afraid of responsibility and work as adults and have much better lives because of it.
I’ve never seen a driveway that well kept….. freaking beautiful piece of art. Looks like concrete from drone
you guys have lots of pride in the way it looks .and it looks great.glad your teaching your girls what it takes to make it look like that
Appreciate it Ron.
Gorgeous property and beautiful farm land. Looks like a great place to raise a family. It's a blessing to see families working together. Thanks for the content
Good for you involving the kiddos in all aspects of the work. It really builds confidence in their future abilities.
It really looks good. The girls made all the difference.
When my daughter was your girls' age, she used to love helping me with outdoor chores, especially when she got to drive the tractor. My three granddaughters were the same way only they had to take turns driving. LOL
You are such a good guy & hard worker!
You are teaching the girls to be the best & do the best they can.
Great Dad & Mom, great channel!
So glad I subscribed!
Thanks for the kind words and we're very happy to have you watching!
A good looking driveway is the same as a good looking lawn. We and people take pride in these!
My ALL time favorite driveway and process to take care of it. Neil has the absolute best driveway probably global! I love it! This is the BEST process!
💥 That looks very nice! 😁👍
Love you got the whole family involved.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Who would have guessed the answer would be hard work.
The driveway looks great
Thanks so much Brock! Enjoyed getting to hang out with you today.
You are blessed!! What a cool story about the driveway and your wife and children helping is so cool! Can't wait to see the Pond completion
Vary nice! What I learned from your driveway videos is that the area that needs more stone needs to be ruffed up before adding the stone. I do not have a gravel drive but I have seen people just add more stone all the time and be frustrated with the stone just coming out of the potholes. They had a small garden tractor so all they needed was the box scraper and the knowledge of how to do it.
Grading the lane is my happy time. I love love love watching it all come together and get all smooth and perfect. I have a grader box for my garden tractors too but it's a three point. I've always been interested in one like you have
Don't let Neil make yo feel inferior. Most Hoosiers have driveways dotted with oil stains and old engine blocks, and new driveway gradually forms around the pot holes. I do admire his driveway though. A beautiful blend of art and OCD.
Why does everyone keep saying "OCD"? 😁
In reality, the reason that I grade my driveway so often is just to erase all the oil spots that form every week. It helps keep the dust down.
Yeah , no doubt. I feel bad for this guy
Probably mows the grass every 4 days
" it brings us joy to have the edges straight "
I suggest liberal doses of hard drugs for this
@@digdrivediy you mean “CDO”
@@digdrivediy As long as it doesn’t give you belly aches you’re just a man that takes pride in his work. People use psych terms to easy. Maybe that is a sign of some disorder? Who knows.
When people think a job or project is OCD, just means they’re lazy workers !
Your driveway looks outstanding! Great family project. Keep the great videos coming.
Great job. So nice to have all of the family involved. Love your passion and the fact that you are clearly a perfectionist.😊
Looks great and I love how your whole family works to take pride in your home. I definitely need to work on my drive. Your information gave me some good insights on what to do differently. Thanks for the great video.
Driveway goals!! The edges look so crisp!!
Rewatched AGAIN! One of my favorite videos to watch period! Definitely the best driveway refresh I have seen ever. This is the best driveway in the USA!
Cara is so sweet!
You could have a you tube channel just devoted to your driveway 😁.
I like the "retro" clip of Cara (nice touch).
I enjoy your channel so much! Motivates me to do more around my own property. Fixed our vacuum thanks to you guys!
Frank in Colorado
I look at alot of videos BUT this far is the best Ive seen! Im watching it again. You sir have the best yard and driveway that i have ever seen!
Looks excellent! Nice to see folks that take pride in their property!
This is the best driveway in America! I love this content!
I love that the girls are doing some of the work. You seem to be a good dad.
Thanks 👍🏻
Fun video. Glad to see the whole family involved. While I will never be that particular about my driveway, it shows many possibilities of techniques and materials.
Your daughters are so helpful. Love the fact they can drive the John Deere front loader
Love this video Neil and Kara! Like you, I also really enjoy a nice stone driveway! The weeds are a constant "problem"!
Great video! Now I am going out to fix my driveway from the floods from 2 weeks ago.... Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!
Beautiful home makes you feel good. Those lines are very satisfying.
You all have a beautiful place love the driveway ❤
Amazing and straight!! Nice work!
That turned out great! The crispy straight lines are awesome!
I love the daughter's reaction after she drove the tractor up!
The girls were awesome! Great result
That grader box on the small tractor is awesome.
Fit and finish, looks very nice. Well done
I like it, and im trying to not be jealous. Lol its hard to keep it clean looking if or when you're constantly spill grain on it. Take care guys. I enjoy seeing you get the family involved
Those girls are the "spitting image' of their Mom!!! Too cute. Great driveway. Shows your pride and work ethic! Thanks
Appreciate it Jim.
You and your family did a great job on it, it looks like some one really cares about where you live very nice keep up the good work !!
Nice job guys...I always enjoy your videos Neil....keep up the good work and your driveway looks fantastic!!
Awesome work family Koch love the fact you get the girls involved as much as possible my daughter is 3 and I already have her helping as much as possibly can she really enjoy it great work on driveway project I too try my best to keep a nice tidy property god bless
Probably the best driveway maintenance video EVER!
Amazing job guys!
I am envious and jealous at the same time! Kiddo’s for a great video and an excellent primer for what it takes to make a place look well kept and enjoyable for those who live there. You obviously take great pride in how your property looks. Ignore those who comment in the negative! I just found your videos about the pond build a few days ago, now I’m hooked! Stay well!
That is a mighty fine looking driveway !
Love the videos. Great ro see the family working together.
Holy cannoli. That's just incredible (that drone shot of the after...wow). I love watching you play with all the toys (real life) that I played with as a kid (just toys). I truly appreciate the fastidious attention to detail. And I especially appreciate your involving the kiddos. They are learning important lessons which will form their way of thinking for their entire lives. Well done!
Nice work people. You homestead looks great. You can be proud.
Beautiful job guys great family
I love how much of a perfectionist you are I feel the same way about many things
I also wondered how you kept the driveway so nice. Really glad to see you do a dedicated video on it
Thanks Adam!
Great video, great technique great to see you getting the family involved. Especially like how you removed the dirt from the edges - that’s something I’m going to try next time.
That looked like fun. I wonder why some people are afraid of WORK. I enjoy making my home look like a vacation spot, just like yours. Great video.
What a beautiful spot you guys got. God bless
Hands down..that’s the neatest farm I’ve ever seen and all the best toys. The farm my brothers and I recently inherited has treasures from the last 100 years scattered all over. My Grandfather and father never threw anything away. I claimed the ox yoke my 20:04
At one point old wringer washers, even the first car the family owned from the 30s (bought in the 50s), anything that couldn’t be burned was dumped in a ravine at the wooded back of property. The first tractor, a Farmall from the 40s and all the acquired equipment are now scattered around our yards as yard art/museum pieces. The hog scalding/cane syrup making cast iron pot has a place of honor as one brother’s fire pit.
Every time I post a comment regarding the farm I appreciate what a unique childhood I had. Of course I resented missing Spring Break at the beach because that was when tobacco had to be planted. Summers were spent hoeing peanuts, tobacco, corn..you name it. I was so glad when school started that I was a stellar student who never missed school! Sorry for the ramblings.
That's terrific! Thanks so much for sharing. I've never got to experience peanuts or tobacco farming. And it sounds like your farm is full of history in pieces that tell a story. Thanks so much for watching!
Great Job!!! thank you for the information and God Bless your family sir!
Beautiful family and beautiful & well-maintained property.
Glad to see I’m not the only one who can’t stand crooked driveway edges. Well done !
i am SO impressed with the passion you have for your driveway. You also have the toys you need to get it done and maintain it as well.... The absolute best i have seen and I watched it again and like it, and then i subscribed to your channel.... i want to gain some knowledge!
Had the same backhoe mine was a 1997 310 se great machine. Beautiful job
It looks great. Nice job teaching the girls!
Great job Neil
For everyone else, you get out of it what you put into it. But you don't have to do it all at once..
God bless.
Good for you and your beautiful family! Living the dream!!
Wow that driveway looks awesome good rain-washed will probably settle all your dust❤😊
Awesome look
looks great, you have mastered that compact
Absolutely tha BEST video! I love driveway work because of THIS video!
Wow that is a ton of work and it would be nice go have all the equipment. I just hope I can find somone as Meticulous as you to fix my gravel drive. Excellent work! Beautiful!
Nice to see the young ladies work.🎉
Nice, well crafted video and project...I completely get it. Unlike many UA-camrs your property is beautifully maintained. We shared a ½ mile private gravel road with 10 home owners on 10 acre lots. I had a JD 2025R with a loader and a landscape rake.I am retired and would spend hours driving back and forth then just staring at it thinking what I would do differently the next time for improvements. We had lots of water in PA and the road was used heavily. Had to keep a crown on the road to avoid the formation of potholes. Most fun I had with that tractor...that and using the 3 point roto-tiller to plant things the deer would harvest before me. I watched this video after seeing Wes work on your RV...I subscribed to your channel.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim
Another great video! All good things in life require regular maintenance.
I think you have made a wonderful world there, I couldnt imagine a finer way of life.
Thanks. Me either ;)
Good job on the edging and pot hole repair and is proper way to do it Many ppl just try to grade the rocks back in to hard pack and can’t figure out why next rain storm the pot holes are back
Nice job!
I love to see other good hard-working Americans from the country have a beautiful home/property. Like you, folks always ask me how come my yard always looks so nice... well, hard work in the yard almost daily is the key. Your home/farm is stunning! New to your channel as well
Enjoyed the video Neil
Nice job ! Great Teamwork !
WoW. Nice work. From Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 👋🏼🌼
Looks great.
Yayyyy not a firewood video! Lol. I enjoy it all, drive is magazine worthy! "Dig" the clean look!
All you videos I've watched I find very interesting, can't wait for pond video, and the girls are having fun with the rest of your family, Christine in the uk.
Glad you like them! Thanks Christine!
As you mention it looks like a lot of work, and it is but it’s the kinda work that when it’s all done, feng shui that eases your stress. Nice work!
As always Quality Content.
Looking forward to seeing 316/318 service
Looks great thanks for sharing
awesome Job..Family Working Together..
This was so satisfying to watch.
Amazing! Your videos are informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing 😊
I find myself spending time with diminishing return on keeping crisp driveway edges. I agree that it makes the whole property look better. For the edge I usually use weed spray about 1x a month and that really helps a ton from it getting out of control. Nice Work!
Great video
You guys teach the the girls very positive work ethics that should follow them thru their lives.
It always makes me feel good to see a family work together, I guess I am funny that way.
I sure hope so.
Looks awesome!
The girls and your wife did a fantastic job with your help the whole area looks really good the only thing missing is dirt bikes and track for the girls.
Can't say for sure whether I'm feeling inspired of convicted, but I need to do some work on my driveway. VERY nicely done!
Love seeing the kids out helping. Like your wife my Dad always gave me chores when he was gone. I do the same for my teenage boys now.
Great job - and it’s great to see all the girls helping you 🍻
Love that straight edge! Our driveway is asphalt millings that congeal with less loose material on top, but we are about to lengthen it by 150' with limestone. We would continue to use millings but they shot up in price and there's not any new road construction near the farm right now.
I would love to get a hold of some millings and use it on the driveway. We did that at the property of my previous employer and it was great after it all got packed in.
Really looks great!
Not sure why, but this was fascinating!
That's cool to hear! Thanks for checking it out.
Wow… what a beautiful work! And this is forever, can be redone, recycled, it allows water to escape, it’s not expensive… a lot of pro’s!
