Driveway grading

Regrading, crown, and drainage work for dirt and gravel driveways, keeping your driveways looking professional!

Tell us about your driveway and we'll schedule a site walk.

We are here to help service your driveway.

A gravel driveway goes through a lot over many years. Between heavy rains, traffic, and time, it's normal for potholes, ruts, washouts, and low spots to start showing up.

We help homeowners get their driveways back into shape. Whether it's a short residential driveway or new driveway, we'll take a look at what's causing the problem and recommend the best solution.

Sometimes all a driveway needs is a fresh grading. Other times it may need additional gravel, a ditch cleaned out, or a culvert replaced so the water has somewhere to go.

  • Washouts after heavy rain
  • Ruts and low spots

Frequently asked questions

How long does a regrade take?

Most single driveways take anywhere between 8 - 24 hours to regrade, depending on slope and size of driveway.

Do you match existing material, or is it always a fresh surface?

It is often difficult to match material because quarries change the excavation sites of their material and certain materials may become discontinued.

How often does a gravel driveway need to be regraded?

On average, driveways need regrading once a year, but factors such as weather and traffic usage may affect the maintenance requirement.

Can this be done in winter?

Yes it can, as long as the bottom soil is not too wet or frozen.
