Keeping rock on the drive

[S Chamblee]

I maintain my driveway with a 6 ft land plane that does an awesome job but what it is not good at is pulling the rock back to the center of the drive.. THe driveway seems to get a little bit wider each time … What is a good implement that will pull the stray rocks back onto the driveway?? I am thinkings something with a tilted blade maybe, like a road grader??

This is more manual but I've heard these work great. http://www.homedepot.com/p/ECHO-PAS-Paddle-Attachment-99944200620/100678724

My driveway is all shale as well, but mine ends up in piles to wherever the snow is pushed it seems. Not a big deal for me. I just rake most of it back and I have a 5 acre shale bank on my property so I have an endless supply when I need more.

I also use a grading scraper (land plane) for maintaining my driveway plus a mile of shared road. To bring the gravel back to the center and crown the driveway and roads I use a rear blade tilted as far as possible by adjusting the 3 point hitch.

Angled blade or if you just want the rock without all the dirt a angled landscape rake works great.

I second the landscape rake, that is what I use.

We have nearly 3/4 mile of drive and a couple of large parking areas that are rock.

I level the road removing all ruts and holes then angle my landscape rake and make 3 passes down each side a number of times to pull the rock and leaving the dirt and sand as it back to the center.

It works well and I use the rake for pulling dirt back into my garden after rains, love the Everything Attachments rake. It was little costly and some options it has I may never use but it is built TOUGH and is rigid.

I use my bb then landscape rake, I have to pull the 3/4 " rock out of the grass in the spring and the rake works great. It also gets rid of the leaves and branches off the lawn.
