Dependable Gravel Driveways in
Northwest Indiana
Whether you need a brand-new gravel driveway, a tired one repaired and regraded, or a solid gravel pad for a shed or pole barn, Dirt Works builds them to drain right and hold up. We grade the base properly, choose the right stone for the job, and compact it so it doesn’t wash out or turn to ruts the first wet season. We work on residential driveways and pads across Valparaiso and Porter County.
New Gravel Driveways
We handle the full build, clearing, excavating, grading, drainage, and the right stone, so your new driveway has a solid base and sheds water instead of holding it.
Gravel Driveway Repair & Maintenance
Potholes, ruts, washboarding, and bare muddy spots usually mean the driveway has lost its crown and its drainage. We regrade the surface, add stone where it’s needed, and re-establish proper slope so water runs off instead of sitting and digging holes.
Harley Rake / Power Rake Driveway Restoration
For driveways that still have a good base but a rough, uneven surface, we use a Harley rake (power rake) to break up the high spots, redistribute the stone, and leave a smooth, even finish, often without the cost of all-new gravel.
Shed Pads, Pole Barn Pads & Gravel Pads
A shed or pole barn needs a level, compacted gravel pad so it stays square and dry. We excavate, grade, and compact a proper pad sized to your building. For full site work, see our Pole Barn & Shed Prep page.
Grading a Driveway & Leveling the Land
For driveway gravel to withstand the test of time, the ground needs to be professionally leveled and graded. This creates an even, flat surface for your gravel to be laid. Then, your driveway will be best prepared to endure continued use and changing weather.
When grading a driveway, it’s important you choose a team who is trained and experienced. This provides peace of mind and ensures long-lasting results. At Dirt Works Excavating & Landscaping, we deliver the region’s best excavation, grading, drainage, and more for your new driveway.
When it comes to grading a driveway, the choice of material is crucial. Different materials have unique benefits depending on your specific needs, landscape, and budget. We’re here to guide you in making the best decision for your driveway.
Here are the types of stone we specialize in:
Limestone: Known for its durability and classic appearance, it provides a strong foundation and drains well.
Slag: A recycled byproduct with eco-friendly benefits, slag offers solid compression and durability.
Crushed Concrete: Eco-friendly and cost-effective, it provides a solid foundation and recycles existing materials.
Asphalt Millings: Recycled from old road surfaces, this is a sustainable choice that can mimic the look and feel of traditional asphalt.
We’ll work closely with you to determine the best material to suit your needs, ensuring longevity and optimal performance for your driveway.
