Gravel Driveways.
Gravel driveway installation and restoration for residential properties across New London County, CT.
Gravel Driveway Installation And Restoration Done Right
A gravel driveway that’s properly installed holds its grade, drains well, and doesn’t turn into a muddy mess every spring. The difference between one that lasts and one that doesn’t comes down to base preparation, and that’s where most installations cut corners. We don’t.
- New driveway excavation and compacted base installation
- Crushed stone finish layer for clean, durable surface
- Proper crown shaping for water runoff to both sides
- Gravel top dressing and restoration for existing driveways
Signs Your Gravel Driveway Needs Attention
- Your driveway develops deep ruts after every rain or thaw
- Gravel is washing into the yard or road after heavy rain
- Potholes and soft spots are forming throughout the surface
- The driveway floods or pools water instead of draining
- Stone has thinned out and bare dirt patches are showing through
Our Approach to Gravel Driveways
A gravel driveway is only as good as what’s underneath it. We’ve seen plenty of driveways that look fine at install and fall apart within a season because the base wasn’t done right.
When we build a driveway, we start from the ground up. That means excavating to the right depth for your soil conditions, laying and compacting a proper base layer before any finish stone goes down, and grading a crown into the surface so water runs off to the sides instead of sitting on top.
- Excavation depth matched to soil conditions and expected traffic load
- Base layer compacted in lifts before finish stone is applied
- Crown graded into every driveway for consistent water runoff
- Finish material selected for durability and appearance
Recent Driveway Projects
Two recent driveway jobs. Slide across each photo to see the difference.
Driveway Reconstruction
We stripped the old drive down to the base, rebuilt it, and finished it with stone borders on both sides. Drainage went in as part of the same job.
Driveway Expansion
We pulled the stumps, regraded the side yard, and extended the gravel drive along the house, then seeded the disturbed ground.
