Gravel Driveway Grading and Repair Near Lebanon, Ohio

This gravel driveway near Lebanon, Ohio had developed ruts, uneven areas, and a worn driving surface that needed more than simply adding another layer of stone.

MW Martin Services regraded the existing driveway to restore a smoother, more consistent surface before installing fresh#411 limestone.

The project used 18.92 tons of #411 limestone and included grading the existing driveway with our grading attachment before the new stone was placed and finished.

The result was a refreshed gravel driveway built by correcting the existing surface first, rather than simply covering the problem areas with new material.

Regrading the Existing Driveway Before Adding New Stone

This driveway didn’t need to be completely rebuilt. The existing gravel surface had developed ruts and uneven areas, but there was still a usable base to work with.

The first step was to regrade the driveway, working the existing material back into the low and rutted areas and restoring a smoother driving surface. Once the driveway was properly shaped, we resurfaced it with 18.92 tons of #411 limestone. The job included 4.5 hours of equipment work using our grading attachment.

The important part of a repair like this is correcting the existing surface before adding fresh stone. Instead of simply covering the ruts, the driveway was graded first and then topped with new limestone, giving the finished surface a much more uniform foundation.

A Practical Gravel Driveway Repair

Not every worn gravel driveway needs complete reconstruction. When the existing base is still usable, regrading the surface and replacing lost stone can sometimes be the appropriate repair.

This Lebanon, Ohio project is a good example of correcting the existing surface first and then finishing it with fresh #411 limestone.
