[QUOTE="Black and Good, post: 1078374, member: 17830"] I try and put cattle guards if your looking at it, on a slight slope left to right or visea versa. Then I dig a flat bottom hole with one end day lighting as deep as ground will allow. In some cases I've had trench a ways to make daylight and I fill that trench with big rocks, concrete chunks whatever. Then put 1" to 2" rock under it preferably 6" to 8" of rock, level the rock its going to set on to make cattle guard even with drive way grade. The side that's a little high, grade your driveway gravel or whatever to it. This way it won't hold water. Mud that is in there, in big down pours will wash down into that big rock. If you keep decent gravel on each side of it for a short distance to keep balled up tires kinda knocked off, they are pretty maintenance free. B&G :santa: [/QUOTE]
