New Trailer Pad

We had a small space beside our driveway that was just plants and bark. This is where we parked our trailer.

BUT I can't leave well enough alone and wanted to put our trailer behind the fence beside the house. It was in a sorry state and the needed to be raised. So we built a retaining wall and graveled it. Pics below:

Looks good. What size stone did you use? Any different base material?

You may want to consider placing a few bricks into the gravel to give you an aiming point for the tires as you back in.

Here you can see what I did.

Well that’s an interesting idea... I actually use a reference point in my TV to stop backup up, but I like this.

The base material was some pea size gravel with minus. One I got down to the clay layer, it was a matter of making suite it drained well.
