| "Every year" (no matter how many trips the snow plows made) they use belly blades or angled discs to bring the sod from the edges to the center of roads. (Even on newly graveled or stoned roads the summer before.) Their explanation is "we are bringing the gravel/stones back on the road that the snow plows threw off, and we need to crown the road".
1st photo shows the gravel is actually thrown across the ditch.
2nd photo shows the mess they create after it rains...nothing but greasy, slippery slim. Is this common practice on dirt roads throughout the country?
I once asked a county board member if I could do his driveway like this so his wife's car can drip all this off in her garage just like ours....his response was, "probably not a good idea".
