Gravel Entrance and Parking Lot

Village regulations require us to install a gravel entrance and parking lot for the garden. Mike Morehouse of Mike's Construction has graciously offered to donate his time and labor to install the following:

60 ft. gravel entrance

50 ft. X 100 ft. parking area, which will provide 10-11 regulation parking spaces, and enough room for vehicles to back up and turn around to exit.

Cost Estimates for Parking Construction:

Excavator work, and labor .............................................  $1,000 (donated)
25-30 loads of gravel to create gravel base layer ............. $3,700
Additional layer of smaller stones (crusher run) .............. $1,200

Total out of pocket cost for full installation  .................... $4,900

Total out of pocket cost for basic installation .............. $3,700


The parking installation will require removing 10-12 inches of topsoil, which will provide a large amount of material we can sift and use to fill our raised beds.
