Gravel & Driveway Installation
A gravel drive that looks good in July and ruts out by January usually skipped the base. We build the base to the depth the soil calls for — deeper in clay, less in decomposed granite — then finish with a surface course that stays put under tires and rain.
What’s included
- Sub-base depth matched to clay or decomposed granite soil
- Crowned and sloped so winter runoff sheds instead of pooling
- Compacted in lifts, not dumped and left loose
- Edging set to keep gravel out of lawns and beds
How we run the job
- 01
Grade the route
Existing surface stripped and shaped to the fall we want water to follow.
- 02
Set the base
Base rock placed and compacted in lifts sized to the soil underneath.
- 03
Surface course
Finish gravel spread to depth and compacted for a firm, walkable surface.
- 04
Edge and clean
Borders set and surrounding beds or lawn cleaned of stray material.
Gravel & Driveway Installation questions
Not with the right base and crown — most washouts we get called for came from skipping the base entirely.
