Road Maintenance: Rip Rap Leaf Removal & Rock-Blocked Culvert

Conducting land clearing services and performing landscape-focused road maintenance for a half mile sloped hillside road that feeds into fourteen land owner lots ranging from 3 acres to 10 acres is no easy feat, especially when the leaves have accumulated heavily in the rip rap due to heavy storms and further compounded by Hurricane Helene…which was also responsible for moving large rocks and blocking culverts.

Big Trouble, Little Chainsaw spent 20 hours on this project to make sure HOA members of this Asheville community had their drive up Rosy Hill restored.

RIP RAP RESTORATION

Here is the before:

Here is what Vic did for 20 hrs on the half mile road over five days:

And here is what it looks like when the job is done well:

MOVING LARGE ROCK BLOCKING CULVERT

Working with some pry bars and shovels…Vic, Tamerie and Moxximo moved a large displaced rock that blocked a roadside culvert at the entryway to Rosy Hills, dug out the mud, and restored the culvert to its former glory!

Here is where the rock ended up after some serious pry-bar lift-and-shift action:

And here is Tamerie and Moxximo working hard on re-establishing a trench so water can pass through the culvert once again!

At Big Trouble, Little Chainsaw…we take great pride in the natural landscape and accentuating its natural beauty!
