What We Install (Typical Applications)
-
Road base & access roads – Engineered base courses for private roads, yards, and laydown areas
-
Driveways & parking areas – Stable, draining surfaces that resist rutting and ponding
-
Pads & work zones – Temporary or permanent surfaces for equipment and deliveries
-
Drainage features – Swales, french drains, and shoulder protection to move water off the surface
-
Landscaping paths – Clean, low-maintenance walkways and decorative areas
Need ongoing touch-ups? Ask about facility maintenance services for periodic regrading and top-offs.
Material Selection (Getting It Right)
Choosing the right aggregate is the difference between a surface that ruts and one that lasts. We match gradation and fines content to your load, slope, and drainage needs, including options such as:
-
Crushed aggregate base (road base) for high compaction
-
¾” minus for drive lanes and parking areas
-
Pea gravel or decomposed granite for paths and aesthetics
-
Riprap or larger stone where erosion control is the priority
We’ll recommend a spec after a quick site review and intended use.
Our Process
-
Assessment & Layout – Subgrade condition, slopes, drainage, turning radii, and edge constraints
-
Cut/Fill & Grading – Establish crown or cross-slope for water shed; proof-roll where needed
-
Material Placement – Layered lifts for density; moisture conditioning as required
-
Compaction & QA – Rolling or plate compaction with spot checks for firmness and grade
-
Edge Protection & Cleanup – Transitions, berms, or curbing to keep gravel where it belongs
-
Care Plan – Guidance on traffic patterns, dust control, and regrade intervals
Why Gravel Works in Arizona
- Handles heat & UV: No softening like asphalt; resists thermal cracking
- Manages water: Permeable surface reduces ponding; proper slopes move water off the travel way
- Fast to repair: Regrade and top-off instead of costly tear-outs
- Budget-friendly: Lower upfront cost with predictable maintenance cycles
Maintenance & Performance
-
Scheduled inspections after storms or heavy truck cycles
-
Touch-up grading to remove ruts/washboarding
-
Top dressing to replace lost fines and restore compaction
-
Dust control options where required by local conditions
A Cost-Effective Solution
Spread gravel is a cost-effective, durable, and versatile solution for driveways, roads, construction sites, and drainage projects. When installed correctly, it provides excellent stability, water management, and long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
