Greg Your 100% correct. It was a blessing in disgise. We were discussing two types of water table board and his worker went to check out acouple of different kinds. When he got back he was telling me the prices of the two and Greg told him not to mention the prices he wanted me to get thew one I wanted without worring about the price. He would have saved money on one of them but got the one I wanted reguardless of price. He's really great to deal with.
I might cut it back towards the street and make the slope longer to lessen the pitch. I'm not sure if I'll use asphalt of concrete but that won't be until spring after it settles. For now I might put some stone in to keep the dust down so the wife can get in there.
Personally I would do whatever I could to keep the driveway flat. There's nothing like a flat driveway! With adequate runoff of course. However, at the street you don't want the approach so steep you can't get a lowered Camaro in there without dragging the headers! If it works out to raise the drive, the approach is doable, and the front yard just needs more fill to bring it up....well you know what I would do!
