Driveway Gravel
After a few years it was time to add gravel to the driveway. Mel ordered 3 "belly-dump" truck loads.
The trucks began close to the house and worked their way down the driveway.
3rd truck to spread gravel from mailbox to front gate
Mel met the driver to explain what he wanted.
The dumped gravel can be seen under the truck.
Time for Mel to smooth the driveway
A great job done!
We are enjoying our smoother driveway!
