I am adding a P-shaped turnaround at the end of our driveway. The turnaround is at the low point on our property, but re-connects at NOT the lowest point of the existing gravel driveway.
I added a culvert across the turnaround at the low point.
The neighbors property is 3' higher at our driveway, so all the runoff goes down a ditch to a driveway culvert. And there is a 6' grade difference from both ends of the drive, and the turnaround.
How do I grade the turnaround, and does the reconnection point need to be the same elevation as the existing driveway?
Do I need to cut a ditch on the high side of the turnaround to the new culvert? Does the turnaround need to be graded so any runoff goes to the low side?
