New Driveways & RV Pads, Built Right
From the first cut into the ground to the final compaction. Driveways and RV pads built on a proper base so they last.
New driveways and RV pads are not just dump-and-go jobs. We start with site evaluation, proper excavation, a compacted base layer, then finish with the right surface aggregate for the load. Whether you are building a brand new home or carving out an RV pad on the side of your property, we handle it from bare ground to finished surface.

Our Process
Site Visit
Mark walks the area with you, discusses the intended use (daily driver vs. RV vs. boat), and lays out the dimensions.
Excavate
Topsoil, sod, and unsuitable material are removed to depth. Most pads need 6-10 inches excavated to make room for proper base and surface.
Base Layer
Compacted base stone goes down first. This is what holds up to the weight without settling.
Surface Layer
Finish aggregate (typically 1 1/4 crushed limestone) is spread, leveled, and compacted.
Drainage & Crown
Driveway is crowned for water runoff. Pads are pitched gently away from buildings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much excavation does a new driveway need?
Most residential driveways need 6-8 inches excavated to make room for a proper base. RV pads usually need 8-10 inches because of the heavier loads.
How much does a new gravel driveway cost?
Cost depends on length, width, and how much excavation is needed. A typical 100-foot residential driveway runs in the $3,000-7,000 range. Free estimates always.
Do RV pads need to be different from regular driveways?
Yes. RVs put a lot of weight on a small footprint, so RV pads need a thicker base layer and a heavier-duty aggregate. We size it for the actual RV.
How long does a new install take?
Most residential driveways are done in 1-2 days. RV pads are typically done in a single day.
