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 Installation Process
1. Site Preparation
Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your property. We carefully remove existing vegetation and topsoil, then implement professional grading for proper drainage. A high-quality geotextile fabric is installed to prevent sinking and ensure long-term stability.
2. Base Layer Installation
The foundation of your driveway starts with a properly compacted sub-base installation. We ensure proper depth measurement for long-term stability, implement strategic drainage planning, and set up edge containment for a professional finish.
3. Surface Layer Application
The final phase includes careful placement of premium gravel or recycled millings, followed by professional grade compaction. We maintain precise depth control throughout the process and finish with expert grading and smoothing for a perfect surface.

Gravel Selections
We provide a comprehensive range of gravel materials, each carefully chosen for its functionality, durability, and aesthetic appeal:
- Process Gravel – A robust and versatile option, ideal for creating a strong foundation with excellent load-bearing capacity.
