Driveway Repair & Grading in Asheville, NC

Rutted, washed out, or washboarded.

Grading out ruts without finding where the water is coming from resets the clock and nothing else. We fix the cause, then the surface.

What it includes

What you get

  • Rut, washboard and washout correction
  • Crown restored so water leaves the driving surface
  • Ditch lines re-cut and culverts cleared or replaced
  • Stone added where the base has actually gone
  • An honest answer on whether a repair or a rebuild is the better spend

A driveway that ruts, washboards or washes out is telling you something specific about how water moves across it. Blading it flat and adding a load of stone buys a few months.

We look at the crown, the ditch line and where water is entering the drive first. Then we re-cut the shape, correct the drainage and put the surface back — so the same repair is not needed again next spring.

How It Runs

What actually happens on site.

Find the water

Where it enters, where it runs and where it has nowhere to go. That is the whole diagnosis.

Re-cut the shape

Crown restored so the surface sheds to the sides instead of channelling down the middle.

Correct drainage

Ditch lines re-cut, culverts cleared or added, catch basins where the volume needs one.

Rebuild the surface

Stone added where the base is gone, then graded and compacted.

Can you just add gravel?

We can, and sometimes that genuinely is the answer. But if the drive is washing out, adding stone to a surface that sheds water badly is buying the same problem again. We will tell you which one you have.

How often should a gravel drive be regraded?

A well-crowned drive with working drainage needs very little. One that needs blading twice a year has a drainage problem, not a maintenance schedule.
