WHY GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS FAIL — AND HOW WE FIX THEM
Nearly every gravel driveway problem comes down to water. When a drive loses its crown — the slight hump in the middle — rain runs straight down the wheel tracks, carving ruts and potholes and washing your gravel into the yard. Dumping fresh rock in the holes fixes it for a month; reshaping the drive fixes it for years.
We use a skid steer and grading attachments to cut the surface back, re-establish the crown, fix the ditches, and compact everything back down. If the base has failed in spots, we dig out the soft material and rebuild it before the new gravel goes down.
Building new? We cut the drive, set culverts where water crosses, lay a proper base, and top it with compacted crusher run — a driveway that's ready for concrete trucks, deliveries, and twenty years of daily use.

WHY UPSTATE PROPERTY OWNERS CHOOSE US
Fix Potholes & Washboard
We regrade the existing gravel, cut out soft spots, and restore a smooth driving surface — usually in a single visit.
Proper Crown & Drainage
A driveway fails from water, not traffic. We shape the crown and ditches so rain sheds off instead of cutting ruts down the middle.
New Installs Done Right
New driveways get a proper base and compacted crusher run — not just a load of rock dumped on mud.
A Fraction of Paving Cost
A well-built gravel drive costs a fraction of asphalt or concrete and is easy to maintain for decades.
GRAVEL DRIVEWAY PRICING
Driveway regrading and repair in Upstate SC typically runs $350 to $800, while new gravel driveway installation ranges $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on length, base work, and culverts. Every job gets a free on-site estimate.
Factors That Affect Price:
- • Length and width — Material and machine time scale with size
- • Base condition — Failed base sections must be rebuilt, not topped
- • Gravel needed — Regrades often reuse existing rock; installs need hauled stone
- • Culverts — Water crossings add pipe and set time
- • Slope and drainage — Steep or washout-prone drives need more shaping
