A well-maintained gravel driveway can enhance the curb appeal of your property and contribute to its overall value. It creates a welcoming entrance and adds aesthetic value to your home or business, in addition to the benefits listed!

Cost-Effective & Durable

Gravel driveways are typically more affordable to install and to maintain than asphalt and concrete. Routine upkeep will help prevent repairs or replacement down the road that can be costly.  Proper maintenance is key in making sure that your gravel driveway remains durable and can withstand heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions without significant wear and tear. 



Versatile & Customizable

Gravel driveways can complement most architectural styles and landscapes. They add a rustic charm to your home. With proper, routine maintenance, the aesthetic appeal of your driveway will be preserved for many years to come. Gravel driveways offer tons of flexibility in terms of design. You can choose from various types and sizes of gravel to achieve the desired look and texture. 



Minimal Heat Absorption

Unlike asphalt or concrete, gravel does not absorb and retain heat, making it a cooler surface to walk or drive on, especially during hot weather.

Easy Repairs

Minor repairs, such as filling potholes or adding new gravel, are relatively simple and cost-effective to perform. Regular maintenance helps address issues early on, preventing them from escalating into larger problems that require extensive repairs.



Environmentally Friendly

Gravel driveways are environmentally friendly compared to paved surfaces like asphalt or concrete. This is because they allow rainwater to permeate the ground, replenishing groundwater supplies and reducing runoff. Additionally, gravel is a naturally occurring material so it does not  require an extensive manufacturing process. They are also one of the best options for allowing water to drain through the surface naturally.  This reduces the risk of water pooling and flooding. Proper maintenance, including grading and drainage management, helps maintain this drainage functionality, preventing water damage and erosion.



Low Maintenance

With proper care and maintenance, gravel driveways require minimal upkeep compared to other types of driveways. Routine tasks such as grading, weed control, and drainage management help keep the driveway in good condition without the need for frequent repairs or extensive cleaning.
