Pole Barn Garage

Pulled the sod off the new parking area. Going to need some dirt sloping off the back side to achieve somewhat level. Again, another not planned scenario with how much material I had to move due to the 50-foot setback code.

Been hard at it trenching and re-grading due to the codes property boundary offset. Got the trench all done last night. Will be grading excess topsoil over it (with geo) outside of the gravel areas due to all the extra spoils



So crazy how the camera doesnt do this hill justice. Its a serious slope down to the barn pad, almost retaining wall worthy, but I dont want to deal with those things ever again. My mower can handle it.


Some more final touch ups of the side swale and the transition from slope to added driveway area will happen tomorrow. Going to borrow my dads 755 and tiller to breakup the topsoil for re spreading around the parking area and over the gravel french drain.

Got the backside swale mostly in place. Shouldn't have any surface ground water issues anymore.

Grabbed dads JD 755 and tiller. Started spreading some of the good topsoil from the spoils piles, tilling, picking the big rocks, and hauling over. Friggen dry dust bowl right now after a week with no rain. Cant get a happy medium.

Got the last of the geotextile over top of the french drain. Started dumping some dirt on top to be bladed out. Need another few rounds of tilling and rock picking to get enough for good coverage.
