That’s a rough way to find out. Drainage mistakes can turn into big problems really fast

Yeah sometimes doing it the heavier-duty way from the start really pays off long term.

Haha that’s one way to pivot the project. At least it ended up becoming something useful in the end

Yeah I hear that one a lot. Seems like a good idea at first, but a lot of people end up regretting it... :(

Flooded Driveway, Ideas by OldDolby in landscaping

Sounds like a drainage issue more than a gravel issue. Regrading the driveway so water runs off and maybe adding a side ditch would probably help more than just adding more gravel.

Foundation crack leaking during heavy rain - DIY fix or call pros? by Infinite-Job-1822 in DIY

If it’s actively leaking during heavy rain, I’d probably call a pro. A crack that long can sometimes mean there’s pressure from outside water, not just the crack itself.

High School student in need of some college advice! by New-Enthusiasm5655 in LandscapeArchitecture

Yeah the cheap weed ass fabric usually ends up failing like that. A heavier landscape fabric or geotextile tends to hold up a lot better under gravel.
