A motorgrader can be used to bring dirt from the sides to the center, creating a slight ditch on both sides and crowning the center at the same time.
It'll be fun following this project.
BTW...Welcome!!! Thanks Bengie. I’ll consult a local dirt guy because I’m not sure the motorgrader would work. My property is super flat so if I take dirt away from the sides then I’ll have 2 ditches lower than the rest of the property always there and every time it rains they’ll fill up quickly. This area of east Texas is all sugar sand so my worry is that it’ll start eroding the runway and over time I might have issues.
