We finally got the driveway entrance and culvert installed — but things didn’t go quite as planned! What started as a straightforward job turned into a full-on recovery operation when Dirt Perfect’s tri-axle dump truck sank deep while trying to spread stone. Between hauling loads, setting the culvert, and grading the drive, this one tested everything.
I brought out the CAT D4 dozer and CAT 304 mini excavator to get the job done (and to get the dump truck back out). From prepping the base to packing in the stone, this job had a little bit of everything — dirt work, drainage, and a healthy dose of problem-solving.
If you enjoy real-world excavation, equipment recoveries, and learning how to build a solid driveway entrance the right way, this one’s for you.
