Driveway repair and expansion — most are finished in a day
A lane narrows to a single track, the rock thins out, and grass closes in from both sides. We reclaim the edges, widen it, build a proper parking apron at the garage, and crown and compact the whole thing.
Most driveways that look like the first photo don't need to be rebuilt — they need the edges reclaimed and the shape put back. Text a photo of yours and you'll get a straight answer on which one you're looking at.
Reclaiming a lane that still had the gravel in it
A lane like this doesn’t need a load of stone. The rock is still there — it has just been driven down into the dirt and grown over. A power rake pulls the existing gravel back up out of the sod, screens the trash out, and re-lays it with a crown. About three hours, and not one ton of new material hauled in.
Images on this page illustrate the work described. They are not photographs of specific customer projects.
If your lane looks like the first photo, there’s a fair chance you already own the gravel you need. Worth finding out before you buy more — send a photo and we’ll tell you which one you’ve got.

Common Questions
How much does it cost to fix a gravel driveway in Paducah, KY?
Simple regrading and recrowning runs $0.52–$0.80 per square foot with a $750 minimum. A full restore with fresh rock runs $1.05–$1.55 per square foot, and a rebuild with drainage correction $1.40–$2.10. New crusher run is billed separately at $33–$40 per delivered ton, so you know the per-ton price and the tonnage before anything is ordered. Use the calculator above for an instant range on your driveway.
Do I need new rock, or just grading?
If your driveway has enough gravel but it's washboarded or lost its crown, regrading alone often fixes it. If you're seeing mud through the surface or bare spots, you're low on material and need rock added — typically a 2-inch top-up. We check depth at the free site visit and only quote rock you actually need.
Why does my gravel driveway keep washing out?
Water. A driveway without a crown or with blocked ditches holds water, and traffic pumps it into potholes and ruts. A proper repair reshapes the crown so water sheds to the sides — and where drainage is the root cause, we fix the ditching or culvert as part of the job so the repair lasts.
How long does gravel driveway repair take?
Most residential driveways are done in a day, including rock delivery and spreading. Long lanes and rebuilds with drainage work can run two days. You'll have a schedule before we start.
Do you install new gravel driveways?
Yes — new gravel driveways and construction entrances are built the same way we rebuild failed ones: graded and crowned to shed water from day one, with rock billed per delivered ton on its own line. New installations are quoted after a free site visit, since length, base condition, and access drive the price. We build them across Paducah, Lone Oak, Reidland, Benton, Calvert City, Mayfield, Kevil, and La Center.
