Gravel Driveways & Pads Installation Service

A gravel driveway is a classic, cost-effective choice that looks great in our East Tennessee landscape. But to get a gravel surface that stays smooth and doesn’t turn into a rut-filled mess, it has to be built the right way from the ground up. Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation specializes in building strong gravel driveways and pads that are made to last.

Gravel Driveways & Pads Installation in Jefferson, Hamblen, & Grainger Counties

Have you ever driven on a gravel driveway full of potholes and ruts? That’s what happens when the base underneath is weak. The secret to a long-lasting gravel driveway isn’t the gravel on top; it’s the solid, compacted foundation that you can’t see. Without it, the gravel just sinks into the mud and washes away.

At Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation, we are experts in building the proper foundation. We use our grading and excavation skills to create a stable base that can support vehicle traffic and stand up to heavy rain. We build it right the first time, so you don’t have to deal with constant problems and repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel Driveways

Why should I choose a gravel driveway over asphalt or concrete?

Gravel is much more affordable to install than pavement. It also drains water naturally, which means less runoff and fewer puddles. Many people also prefer the classic, rustic look of a gravel driveway for their home.

What makes a gravel driveway strong and long-lasting?

The base. We start by digging out the weak topsoil and then grading the area for proper drainage. Then, we lay down a thick, strong base of crushed stone and pack it down tightly with heavy machinery. This solid foundation is what keeps your driveway from getting ruts and potholes.

Will my gravel driveway get a lot of weeds?

Weeds can be a problem if the driveway isn’t built right. We recommend laying down a special landscape fabric under the gravel. This fabric creates a tough barrier that stops weeds from being able to grow up through the rocks.

What kind of maintenance does a gravel driveway need?

A well-built gravel driveway is very low-maintenance. You may need to rake it smooth occasionally. Every five to ten years, you might want to add a thin, fresh layer of gravel to the top to keep it looking new.

Can you build a gravel pad for my new shed?

Yes, absolutely. A compacted gravel pad is the perfect foundation for a shed, a barn, or even a small garage. It provides a level surface, allows for drainage, and is much cheaper than pouring a concrete slab.
