Custom Driveway Widening
We extend gravel driveways for extra parking space, larger vehicles, or two-way traffic. Our team ensures the new sections blend seamlessly with your existing driveway for a unified appearance.
Driveway Lengthening
Need more space for trailers, RVs, or extra vehicles? We lengthen gravel driveways to meet your needs, ensuring proper grading and better drainage for longevity.
Grading and Leveling
Proper grading is critical for any driveway extension. We prepare and level the site to ensure optimal drainage, stability, and a smooth driving surface. This prevents issues like water pooling and erosion.
Gravel Matching and Installation
We use high-quality gravel materials that match your existing driveway, ensuring a cohesive look. From crushed stone to pea gravel or another type of material, we select the right type for durability and aesthetic appeal.
Drainage Solutions
Extending a driveway often requires adjustments to the drainage system. We install or modify culverts, ditches, or other drainage features to protect your driveway from water damage and erosion.
Edge Stabilization
To prevent gravel from shifting or spilling, we add edge stabilization using borders or other techniques, keeping your driveway neat and functional. This also protects your landscaping features from damage.
Driveway Enhancements
Beyond extensions, we offer popular choices like turnarounds, parking pads, or additional access points to improve usability for homeowners and commercial properties.
Widening a gravel driveway can come with challenges such as tight property boundaries, drainage issues, and unstable soil. Our team is equipped to address these challenges efficiently:
Tight Boundaries: We work within the constraints of your property lines, ensuring that the widening stays compliant with local regulations.
Drainage Solutions: Proper drainage is crucial for any driveway. We can install or repair culverts, create ditches, or implement permeable pavers and other drainage measures as needed.
Soil Stability: We assess and stabilize the base to ensure the widened sections are as durable as the original driveway.
The cost of your gravel driveway varies based on several factors, including the length of the driveway, the extent of the extension, the material costs, the grading and drainage requirements, and whether excavation is necessary or not. If you’re considering alternatives, materials like asphalt driveways or concrete driveways, note that they may have a higher cost per square foot compared to gravel, which is an excellent choice due to its affordability and easy installation.
