Durable, attractive, and affordable gravel driveways for rural properties. Expert installation using quality crushed stone.
Gravel driveways are a staple of rural North Carolina living. When installed properly, they provide years of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
Gravel typically costs 50-70% less than asphalt or concrete, making it ideal for long rural driveways and large properties.
Occasional grading and fresh gravel top-dressing keeps a gravel driveway in great shape. No sealcoating required.
Gravel blends beautifully with natural landscapes, enhancing the rural charm of your property.
Permeable gravel allows water to soak into the ground, reducing runoff and erosion compared to paved surfaces.
Not all gravel driveways are created equal. Many contractors simply dump stone on dirt. We take a different approach.
The Right Base: We begin by clearing and grading the area. Then we install a layer of larger #57 stone as a base, which provides stability and allows for drainage.
The Right Top: We top with #89 or #910 crushed granite, which compacts to a firm surface while still allowing water to drain through.
The Right Edges: We install edging—either landscape timbers, railroad ties, or stone borders—to keep gravel in place and prevent spreading onto lawns.
We offer several types of gravel to suit different needs and aesthetics.
Our most popular option. Crushed stone with sharp edges that interlock when compacted, creating a firm, stable surface that doesn't shift under tires.
Smooth, rounded stones that are comfortable to walk on. Great for decorative areas, but requires edging to stay in place.
Naturally smooth stones in various earth tones. Decorative and excellent for drainage areas or low-traffic pathways.
With proper care, a gravel driveway can last indefinitely. Here are our maintenance tips.
Have your driveway graded once a year to redistribute gravel, fill in ruts, and smooth the surface. This prevents water pooling and erosion.
Every 2-3 years, add a fresh layer of gravel (1-2 inches) to replace what has worn away or been pushed to the edges.
Inspect and repair edging regularly. Gravel will migrate into lawns without proper containment.
Keep ditches clear and culverts functioning. Water is the enemy of gravel driveways—good drainage extends their life significantly.
Professional installation makes all the difference. Let us build you a gravel driveway that will serve your property for years to come.
