Question 1

Can my existing gravel driveway be restored, or does it need to be replaced?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, a gravel driveway can be restored without a full rebuild. If the base is still intact, we can regrade, reshape, correct drainage issues, and apply fresh stone to bring it back to life. However, if the driveway was never properly excavated and continues to rut or sink into soft soil, a full reconstruction may be the better long-term solution. We assess each driveway and recommend the most practical approach.

Question 2

Why does my gravel driveway keep getting ruts and potholes?

Accepted Answer

Rutting and potholes are usually caused by poor drainage, soft sub-grade, or gravel placed directly over topsoil. Without proper shaping, compaction, and base preparation, water weakens the surface and traffic breaks it down. Restoration focuses on correcting pitch, improving water flow, strengthening the base, and installing the right material.

Question 3

Is adding more gravel enough to fix my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Simply adding gravel on top of existing problems is usually a short-term fix. If drainage or base issues aren’t corrected, new stone will eventually rut or wash out. A proper restoration addresses the underlying structure of the driveway, not just the surface.

Question 4

How long will a properly installed or restored gravel driveway last?

Accepted Answer

When properly graded, compacted, and built with quality material, a gravel driveway can last decades. Occasional maintenance such as light regrading or adding top dress stone may be needed over time, but the overall structure should remain stable if it was installed correctly.
