Driveway Compacted

We hired the dozer operator to spread out the fill and compact it yesterday. This was the guy who drove the dump truck, Tight Quarters Excavation & Trucking, great guy! To do this they respread the dirt in about 1' lifts then compact it with a special vibrator. This will minimize major settlement over time, especially because of the overall depth of the fill we are doing.

The driveway area is now filled evenly and compacted. It will need some additional final fill by the wall but this will work great for now.

View from the side. I have some rocks to dig out and move further out of the way ;-(

The fill is packed smooth by the compactor machine. I need to cover this with visqueen so the frequent Seattle rains don't make it into a muddy mess :-)
