Gravel driveways & walkways
New gravel drives built on a real base, and tired ones brought back — regraded, topped up, and compacted. Milford and Southeast Michigan.
- "The drive is more pothole than gravel."
- "Every spring it turns to soup."
- "It's never been more than a path through the grass."
- "I want a walkway that isn't mud."
Gravel driveways, in plain terms.
A gravel drive is only as good as what's under it. We build new drives on a base with a crown, and fix old ones by rebuilding the base where it failed — not by spreading stone over the problem.
New gravel driveways & walkways
Weed barrier where it helps, crushed stone base, decorative top course, crowned so water leaves.
Top-up & rake
Add gravel, level, fill ruts, and compact.
Pothole repair
Rebuild the base in lifts and shape for drainage instead of filling the hole with more stone.
Regrade & re-crown
Fix runoff so the surface stops washing out.
Asphalt millings
Reprocessed and recompacted to a firm, asphalt-like surface. Availability pending confirmation.

We walk it with you, fix anything that isn't right, and leave the site clean.
Crown it, or it ruts.
Freeze-thaw and a flat drive are how ruts happen. A drive with a crown sheds water to the sides; a flat one holds it, freezes it, and breaks up in March. Base depth and shape matter more than what the top layer looks like on day one.
Gravel or millings?
Millings pack into a firmer surface and shed water; gravel is easier to top up and looks more rural. We'll talk through both at the estimate.
How often does a gravel drive need a top-up?
Depends on traffic and drainage. A well-crowned drive on a good base can go years; a flat one on clay needs it every spring.
Can you fix just the bad spots?
Yes. Pothole and low-spot repair on the base is a normal visit.
