Hopefully that helps some of the "Mud" situation

Adding two drain lines in front of the Camaro side of the garage and drainage on both sides of the main driveway gives me about a 1/4 mile of drainage.

Some companies who quoted didn't want to talk to me about drainage or told me I didn't need that much drainage. They wouldn't be the one's stuck living in the mud bog though.

Also, it's things like having geo-textile fabric encapsulate the drainage pipe and the rocks in the French drain that made me go with Ayotte. They really know their drainage & driveways!

The price isn't that surprising when you consider the size of the driveway and all the details

COOL! nice to see your finally getting it done.
Can I christen the new drive with a good smokey burnout?

I agree, let's rubber coat his drive way so no seal coating is needed.

WELL, I didn't see a NO!

They started tearing out the old driveway this morning:

Nothing better than fresh laid asphalt smell!

Nice! Too bad I don't live closer to ya, Im a heavy equipment operator and I do drainage like this aaalllll the time. And yes the fabric makes all the difference in the world. That way your drain pipe doesn't get clogged up with silt over the years. Looks like quite the little project!

Also instead of paving in front of your Camaro garage, (idk if you did already or not) you could always just have somebody come in and strip the loam down to the sub base and then just put down reground asphalt, much cheaper. I think that stuff works great, doesn't get dusty like gravel or reground concrete does and the more you drive on it, it actually almost turns into paved asphalt.
