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.

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
