Regrading a driveway restores the crown or cross-fall so water sheds off the surface instead of running along it and taking the surface with it. It is routine maintenance that most drives need every couple of years and most owners leave far too long.
We regrade gravel and dirt drives, cut out and rebuild failed sections, and add fresh crush run across metro Atlanta.
Do you need this?
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service:
- Potholes reappear weeks after being filled
- Water runs down the drive instead of off it
- Ruts have formed in the wheel tracks
- The drive is washboarded or uneven to drive on
- Gravel has migrated to the edges leaving clay in the middle
How the job runs
- 1
Find the water path
Where water enters, travels and leaves determines everything. Potholes form where water sits, so we fix the reason rather than the hole.
- 2
Cut and reshape
High spots cut, material pulled back from the edges into the centre, and a proper crown or cross-fall re-established.
- 3
Rebuild failures
Where the base has failed, that section is dug out and rebuilt rather than skimmed over with stone that will sink.
- 4
Add stone and compact
Fresh crush run where the surface has thinned, then compacted so it binds instead of scattering under the first car.
What affects your price
Length, width, how badly the base has failed and whether drainage work is needed alongside it are the drivers.

Fifty inches of annual rain means a Georgia gravel drive without a crown is effectively a creek bed several times a year. Getting the cross-fall right is the single highest-value thing you can do for a rural or long driveway here.
