Is your gravel driveway developing deep ruts, holding water, or washing out after rain? Carolina Dozer repairs residential driveways and private roads across Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson, Wilkesboro, and nearby communities. We assess the road surface, base, and drainage, then recommend the grading, gravel, ditch, or culvert work your driveway needs.

Driveway Grading, Rut Repair & Gravel Spreading

Repairs may include reshaping the driving surface, correcting its crown or cross-slope, addressing soft sections, and hauling and spreading suitable gravel. We evaluate whether the existing material can be reused and where additional stone is needed.

Drainage Repairs for Recurring Driveway Washouts

If runoff travels down your driveway, adding gravel alone may leave the cause unresolved. We trace where water enters the road and evaluate roadside ditches, culverts, and discharge points. Depending on the property, the repair may include ditch restoration, culvert replacement, grade correction, or erosion protection at outlets.

For deeper water problems, we can combine driveway work with culvert installation and surface-water mitigation. For new roads or major reconstruction, see our Driveway & Private Road Construction service.

Choosing Gravel for Your Driveway

The right aggregate depends on the road’s base, drainage, and intended use. Read our ABC gravel versus #57 stone guide for a comparison of compactable road material and clean stone. We can coordinate gravel delivery and spreading with the grading work.

Local Project: Drainage Correction in Ferguson

At a Ferguson mountain home, our crew installed an upper diversion ditch and corrected the driveway and terrace pitch as part of a broader erosion-control project. See the Ferguson drainage and erosion-control project for the full scope and photos.

Gravel Driveway Repair Questions

Will more gravel fix a washed-out driveway?

It depends on the cause. Additional gravel may restore a worn surface, but recurring washouts can require grade, ditch, or culvert corrections. An assessment helps identify which repairs are needed.

How much does driveway repair cost?

Cost depends on driveway length, slope, access, existing base, drainage repairs, and the amount of stone required. Read our gravel driveway costs in Western North Carolina guide, then request an assessment for a proposal specific to your property.

What should I send before an assessment?

Send your name, phone number, property address, and a brief description of the problem. Photos of ruts, washouts, ditches, and culverts are helpful but optional.
