About Our Service
Let’s keep it simple. Gravel driveway repair is about fixing the little (or not-so-little) problems that show up after months, or years, of regular use. That means we smooth things out, fill in the gaps, and make sure your driveway feels solid again. And no, it’s not just about dumping fresh gravel on top. It’s about getting down to the root of the issue and doing it right.
Because here’s the thing: A driveway isn’t just where you park your car. It’s the first thing you drive on when you get home after a long day. It should feel reliable, not like you’re off-roading every time you pull in.
How Do You Know It’s Time for a Repair?
If you’re on the fence, here are a few common signs that it might be time to give your driveway some love and care:
It’s getting bumpy
If you find yourself dodging ruts and potholes just to park straight, that’s a good sign your driveway needs attention.
The gravel’s looking thin
When bare patches start to show up and more dirt than gravel is visible, it’s time to bring in some fresh material and restore the base.
Water doesn’t drain like it used to
If puddles are forming after it rains, or water’s just sitting in certain areas, poor drainage might be eating away at your driveway’s base.
It just doesn’t look right anymore.
A driveway doesn’t have to be perfect, but if it looks worn, uneven, or patchy, chances are it’s due for a touch-up.
Our Step-by-Step Process
We treat each gravel driveway like it’s our own. Here’s how we do it:
We start by listening.
You tell us what’s been troubling you, whether it’s that dip near the garage or the puddle that always forms by the mailbox. Then we take a close look to see what’s going on underneath the surface.
We smooth things out.
Using grading equipment, we reshape the surface to remove bumps and fill in low spots. This helps with drainage too, which is key to keeping the driveway in good shape.
We add gravel where it’s needed.
Sometimes all it takes is redistributing the existing gravel. Other times, we’ll bring in a fresh load to top things up and reinforce the base.
FAQ
How often should I get my gravel driveway repaired?
That really depends on the weather, how often you use it, and how well it was built to begin with. But in general, once a year, or at least a good check-up before or after rainy seasons is a smart move.
Can I just add new gravel myself?
You can, but without grading and compacting it properly, that gravel might not stay in place for long. Plus, if there are drainage issues underneath, more gravel might actually make things worse.
How long does the repair take?
Most repairs take less than a day, especially for standard driveways. But if your driveway is larger or has serious drainage issues, we might need a bit more time. Either way, we’ll let you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
