Why Choose Gravel or Millings for Your Driveway?
Choosing a gravel or millings driveway offers significant advantages for your property. You’ll benefit from lower installation costs compared to asphalt or concrete, while enjoying excellent natural drainage that prevents pooling and flooding. These driveways require simple upkeep with occasional grading and top-dressing, and you can drive on them immediately after installation. Recycled millings provide an eco-friendly choice, and both options deliver year-round durability in all weather conditions.

Our Professional Driveway Installation Process
1. Site Preparation
Every project begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your property. We carefully clear the area by removing existing vegetation and topsoil, ensuring a clean slate for installation. Our team then performs expert grading to establish proper drainage, preventing future water-related issues. To enhance stability and minimize settling, we install a high-quality geotextile fabric, which acts as a barrier against sinking and shifting.
2. Base Layer Installation
A solid foundation is essential for a durable driveway. We start by laying a properly compacted sub-base, ensuring the correct depth for maximum stability. Our team strategically incorporates drainage planning to prevent water buildup, and we establish edge containment for a clean, professional finish that enhances both strength and aesthetics.
3. Surface Layer Application
The final phase involves carefully applying premium gravel or recycled millings, ensuring even distribution for a uniform surface. Using industry-grade equipment, we professionally compact the material to create a smooth, stable, and long-lasting driveway. Throughout the process, we maintain strict depth control and complete the project with expert grading and smoothing for a flawless finish.
