Our Gravel Driveway Services

Gravel Driveway Services for the Quad Cities

Gravel driveways are a smart and affordable choice for many property owners across the Quad Cities and surrounding areas. Whether you're starting from scratch, fixing up a worn-out path, or improving access to your home, farm, or business, we offer dependable gravel services with a focus on quality and durability. From the outskirts of Davenport to nearby towns like Bettendorf and Eldridge, we help keep local properties accessible and looking their best. With frequent freeze-thaw cycles and spring rainstorms in this region, a well-built gravel driveway can save a lot of future headaches.

Gravel Driveway Installation

Installing a gravel driveway takes more than just dumping rock and spreading it out. We take the time to prepare the surface properly, grading it for drainage and long-term performance. Once the base is ready, we deliver and spread the gravel, then compact it to create a solid, lasting surface. Whether you're building a short residential driveway or a long rural lane, we’ve got the equipment and know-how to do it right.

Gravel Driveway Repair & Maintenance

Over time, gravel driveways can develop low spots, ruts, and potholes—especially after harsh weather or heavy use. We offer resurfacing, patching, and grading services to restore your driveway, enhancing its appearance and functionality. Regular maintenance helps prevent erosion and extends the life of your gravel surface. Even properties near the Mississippi River basin can benefit from grading strategies that account for runoff and shifting soil conditions.

Gravel Types We Install

We offer a variety of gravel types suited for Illinois soil, climate, and usage needs:

• Crushed limestone – Excellent for compaction and heavy use
  
• CA6 road gravel – A mix of stone and fines for a strong, stable base
  
• Pea gravel – Decorative and smooth, ideal for light-traffic areas
  
• Recycled asphalt and concrete – Cost-effective and eco-friendly
  
• Other specialty blends – Available upon request
  
  

We’ll help you select the right material based on your driveway’s length, slope, and usage.

Gravel Pads and Foundations

Gravel isn’t just for driveways. We also build gravel pads for sheds, carports, RVs, and trailers. These pads provide a level, stable base that drains well and supports weight without sinking. Gravel foundations are a great alternative to concrete—more flexible, easier to install, and budget-friendly.

Gravel Parking Lots

Gravel is an excellent option for parking lots—whether it’s for extra residential space, a farm equipment area, or a commercial property. It’s quick to install, drains naturally, and holds up well with the right base and compaction. We build gravel parking areas that are functional, level, and ready for daily use. From single-space pull-offs to larger overflow lots, we can create a layout that fits your needs.

Why Choose Gravel Over Asphalt or Concrete?

Gravel driveways provide a flexible and low-maintenance alternative to traditional paving materials. Compared to asphalt or concrete, gravel is more affordable to install and easier to repair if issues arise. It also provides natural drainage, which helps prevent water pooling and erosion—essential in areas with changing seasons like the Quad Cities. With proper grading and occasional touch-ups, a gravel driveway can last for years and adapt well to both rural and residential settings. Plus, its natural look blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.

Recent Gravel Driveway Projects in the Quad Cities

Our team recently completed a 300-foot gravel driveway installation for a homeowner on the outskirts of Eldridge. The project involved clearing the old surface, regrading the slope for better drainage, and laying down a compacted layer of crushed limestone for long-term durability.

We also finished a gravel parking lot expansion for a small business near East Moline. The lot was extended by 1,200 square feet using CA6 road gravel, with extra attention given to leveling and edge compaction to handle delivery truck traffic. Both projects were completed on time and built to withstand the Midwest's harsh weather conditions.
