Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

1. How do I choose the right excavation company for my driveway installation?

When choosing an excavation company, look for experience with gravel driveway projects, positive customer reviews, and proper licensing. Ask about their process for site preparation, grading, and drainage to ensure a durable installation. Request quotes from multiple companies to compare pricing and services, and choose one that provides clear communication and expertise.

2. How can I prevent potholes and ruts in my gravel driveway?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing potholes and ruts:

Grading: Periodically regrade the surface to maintain a crown, ensuring water drains off the sides.
Adding Gravel: Replenish gravel as needed to fill low spots and maintain depth.
Proper Drainage: Ensure ditches and culverts are clear to prevent water from pooling on the driveway.
Limit Heavy Loads: Avoid excessive weight that can compact and displace gravel.

Implementing these practices can extend the life of your driveway and reduce repair needs.

3. Can I install a gravel driveway over existing soil without excavation?

While it’s possible to lay gravel over existing soil, it’s not recommended without proper preparation. Skipping excavation can lead to poor drainage, instability, and quicker deterioration. Removing topsoil and creating a graded base ensures a more durable and long-lasting gravel driveway.
