The Driveway you've always wanted
Explore the Benefits of Gravel Driveway Installation
Homeowners looking to enhance their property’s entrance may think an asphalt or concrete driveway is the only option. However, a gravel driveway offers unique benefits, such as the following:
Fast installation
Our crews install new parking areas in a fraction of the time that traditional paving takes.
Natural drainage
You won’t have to worry about heavy rains flooding your driveway or washing the materials away. Water seeps beneath the gravel to naturally drain into the ground.
Affordability
In addition to the above, you’ll save money by opting for a gravel driveway over an expensive asphalt or concrete alternative.
What Gravel Driveway Installation Entails
How It Works:
We follow a thorough process when installing new gravel driveways for Texas property owners. Every project begins with a plan. We’ll mark and measure a path where the materials will go, then order enough gravel to cover the area.
To prepare the space, we’ll remove any grass or topsoil in the path so the ground sinks about a foot. Then, we level the ground before our contractors carefully pack the small stones into the space. We compact each surface layer and ensure it’s stable before you can enjoy your brand-new driveway.
Is a Gravel Driveway Right for Your Home?
Your home lacks curb appeal
A charming gravel driveway can work wonders to make your property more visually pleasing. Texas homeowners looking to achieve a rustic style won’t regret this decision.
Flooding remains a concern
Why should the money you invest in a beautiful new driveway go to waste because the materials promote flooding? Heavy rain won’t be an issue thanks to the natural drainage that occurs with gravel surfaces.
You want a low-maintenance driveway
Asphalt driveways tend to crack and erode over time, while concrete pavement often requires routine pressure washing to eliminate grime and stains. Gravel pathways don’t require as much upkeep. The occasional simple fix is usually enough to keep it looking pristine.

Yes, some handy homeowners prefer to install their driveways themselves instead of hiring a professional. However, depending on the equipment and materials you need to purchase, DIY driveway installation could take longer and cost more in the long run. You’re much better off hiring an experienced contractor to keep the project cost effective and free of hassle.
The best type of gravel for local driveways depends on your personal preferences. Large pieces of crushed granite or limestone provide more stability and sufficient drainage, whereas smaller stones like pea gravel can be more aesthetically pleasing. Consider your budget and preferred style when choosing gravel to install on your driveway.
