Signs your gravel driveway needs restoration
- Potholes that come back after every rain
- Washboard ripples that rattle your vehicle
- Standing water and soft spots
- Grass, weeds and brush growing in from the edges and center
- A driveway that has lost its crown and no longer sheds water
- Overhanging branches and brush scraping vehicles
How we restore a gravel driveway
Clear the edges
We cut back encroaching brush and overhanging growth so the full width of the drive is usable and gets sunlight to dry out.
Regrade and reshape
We break up the hardpan, pull material back from the edges and re-establish a crown so water runs off to the sides instead of sitting in the tracks.
Address drainage
Most driveway problems are water problems. We look at where water is coming from and where it needs to go, and shape the surface and edges to move it away.
Add material where needed
When the existing gravel is worn thin, we’ll recommend how much new material makes sense and include it clearly in your estimate.
Driveways, lanes and access roads
We work on residential drives, long rural lanes, cabin roads, farm access and two-tracks throughout Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Barry, Newaygo, Mecosta and the rest of our West Michigan service area. If you’re building a new drive through wooded land, start with our site preparation services.
