Thoughts on planting on driveway cut?

[FarmerJamie]

Photos were just for the "before" capture to document

The plan of attack:
1. Scrape off existing gravel
2. Reduce the steepness of the slope, address the erosion rut
3. Make it slightly sloped from center to sides
4. French drains on both sides
5. Put down a mat
6. Finally, put down the new gravel.

A lot more expensive than spreading a dump truck load of aggregate, but I like doing things right the first time

Driveway re do has started. I don't want to work, I want to pull up a lawn chair and watch. Lolol

Taking out a high spot where the erosion begins and putting in the trench for the French drains

I love that they regraded that slope! Still a slope, but not as steep. Love that mat under it too.
