Overdue Driveway Overhaul"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Have had quite a few problems with the driveway getting washed out this year. \u00a0Much of it due to the much higher than normal rainfall but also that the ditches on the long driveway really were in need of work. \u00a0I typically ask Bob the Farmer what he would do and who he would recommend and he pointed me to Brandon, owner of BZ Excavating, a local firm. \u00a0It was actually a lot more work than I originally had thought having never dealt with anything like this before. \u00a0They ended up putting in 3 new culverts and replacing two older culverts with a large 30 inch culvert that is 30 ft long instead of the normal 20 ft. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the result. \u00a0Right after they finished we received at least 2-3 weeks where each week had significant rainfall, some of it in the form of deluges. \u00a0Never had any wash outs, and the new ditches look and are working incredibly well. \u00a0Below are a few shots of the project. \u00a0I highly recommend Brandon, no non-sense kind of guy and very straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
