[QUOTE="Beckett, post: 660155, member: 10952"] Hey Wisteria, I live in Northern IL and had the same problem a few years back. All the pasture entrances and access to loafing shed and pole building were all mud. I took a skid loader and dug out all the areas 10 inches deep and put a layer of soil seperator "petromat, T2000, or Soil fabric". Then covered the hole with 5 inches of base rock or breaker no larger than 3 inches, and topped off the top of the hole with half inch minus " as the quarry calls it. i also made sure to have at least a percent of fall for water to drain off the stone. It is inportant to make sure you Fabric under the stone will let water go through it. you dont want to trap water under the stone. Other than haveing to clean the crap off of it ocassionaly it but it still is holding up really good. I think it was 10 years ago when i did it and it cost me about $500.00 to do everything i needed. Tada, no mure mud for me thank you. LOL Hope this helps, Beckett [/QUOTE]
