Built for Peoria Weather and Traffic

 

Peoria’s clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy spring rains destroy driveways that aren’t built with proper foundation and drainage. Our construction method creates driveways that last in Illinois River valley conditions.

Multi-Layer Base Construction

Proper foundation layers that prevent settling and create a stable driving surface for Peoria properties.

Mechanical Compaction

Heavy equipment compaction ensures each layer stays solid under vehicle traffic on Peoria driveways.

Crown and Slope Design

Proper grading that sheds water quickly and prevents washout damage common in Peoria County.

Quality Aggregate Selection

The right gravel types for Peoria conditions and your specific traffic needs.

How We Build Driveways in Peoria

Our gravel driveway construction creates a stable, long-lasting surface that handles heavy use and Peoria’s harsh weather year after year.

      • Prepare proper base with excavation and foundation materials suited to Peoria clay
      • Install multiple layers of different aggregate sizes for stability
      • Compact each layer with heavy equipment for maximum density
      • Grade for drainage with proper crown and slope to shed Peoria rainwater

Why Poorly Done Driveways Fail in Peoria

Poor driveway construction shows up every spring in Peoria when you’re back outside filling ruts and potholes. What seemed like a good deal becomes an annual expense that never really fixes the problem.

      • Rutting and potholes from inadequate base preparation and poor compaction
      • Washout during storms from improper grading that channels water down the drive
      • Loose gravel migration when surface material isn’t properly contained
      • Constant maintenance requiring new gravel and repairs every Peoria spring
