    Here are some ideas to improve drainage for gravel driveways:
    • Put a 4-inch layer of gravel at the bottom, and then add plastic piping. Before laying the pipe, drill holes in it to absorb the water. Cover with another 6 inches of gravel and then put dirt on top, tamping it down firmly.
    • Install concrete culverts under the gravel to send water beneath the gravel away, rather than over the top.
    • Dig a trench drain across existing gravel driveways or roadways to keep them dry. Make sure you install a weed barrier before laying the gravel, use base layers of larger gravel to improve durability and drainage, and install gravel stabilizers to prevent the gravel from migrating.
    • Replace soil with 60 percent screened sand and 40 percent compost where drainage is slower still. If the swale itself can’t be made big enough to handle all the water, consider excavating another 6 to 8 inches, lining the trench with filter fabric, laying perforated pipe, then covering it with round ¾-inch gravel.
