Pothole repair and gravel driveway grading in Ferndale
Ferndale sits on low, level ground along the Nooksack River, with farmland stretching toward Lake Terrell, Mountain View Road and the Custer side. Rural driveways here tend to be long and flat, crossing fields or pasture from the county road. Flat gravel holds every rain as puddles, and each vehicle pass works those puddles deeper into potholes. Filling them with a few shovels of rock only lasts until the next wet week.
Real pothole repair means cutting into the failed pockets, not topping them. The PR121 reopens the surface to the bottom of the potholes, mixes and redistributes the rock, then rebuilds a crown or cross-slope so water runs to the edges. On the assessment we check whether the shoulders or a ditch can take that water, and whether enough good rock is left or new 5/8-minus should be added.
