Excavation & grading services
Driveway grading & gravel driveways
Washboard ruts, washouts after every monsoon, or a new driveway across raw land — we cut, shape, base and gravel driveways that drain and hold up.
What to expect
A good gravel driveway starts underneath: a shaped subgrade with a crown or cross-slope so water runs off, compacted base course, and the right surface gravel on top.
We build new driveways, widen and extend existing ones, and re-grade rutted rural roads and long ranch drives.

Every job is quoted after a free on-site walk-through. Your written quote lists exactly what is included.
Built for monsoon season
Summer monsoon storms can drop a lot of water fast, and an unshaped driveway turns into a channel. We grade driveways so water sheds off to the sides, and add drainage dips or culverts where water needs to cross.
Where a driveway meets a public road, you may need approval from the road authority. We will flag that during the estimate.

Common questions
What gravel is best for a driveway?
It depends on use and slope. Compacted base course with a crushed surface gravel is a common choice. We will recommend options and explain the trade-offs.
Can you fix my washed-out driveway?
Yes. We re-grade, rebuild the base where needed, and add drainage features so it holds up better next time.
