Grading and Gravel

Proper, careful grading and a good gravel base is the secret to a long-lasting road, tennis court, parking lot or driveway.

Correct grading allows for proper drainage and is the foundation necessary for a long lasting asphalt project. The majority of the problems that we encounter arise from an improper foundation and drainage plan. When constructing a driveway, it needs to graded so the driveway slopes slightly away from your home and/or garage. This helps prevent water from accumulating near your home and causing damages.

It is extremely important that the gravel is compacted as it is placed. This step is essential because it ensures that the layers will remain in place and will minimize the effect of settling and shifting over time.
