Why Repair or Resurface Your Gravel Driveway
Nothing lasts forever, and understandably, time can weather even the sturdiest rocks. Because of that, it’s no surprise that you might notice your gravel driveway wear down and erode over time. Whether from the effects of exposure to the elements or regular usage, driveways, no matter the material, will deteriorate. However, if the issues on your gravel driveway are left unchecked, they will worsen and create bigger problems in the long run.
Ensure Safety

Signs You Need to Have Your Driveway Repaired
Interested in gaining the benefits of having a well-maintained gravel driveway? Even if you can’t prevent the deterioration of your driveway, there’s still something you can do. By watching for these signs, you can tell that your driveway needs to be repaired.
Uneven Surface
Your driveway should have a flat surface for a smooth experience, whether driving or walking. If the surface is uneven, one section will be higher than the other. And if that happens, it can cause drainage problems or water pooling in the sunken areas of your driveway. Slipping, tripping, and falling can occur more often than not for people walking on it. Not only that, but it can also give an unpleasant bumpy experience when one is driving on it.
Potholes and Bare Spots
Gravel consists of rock fragments commonly from basalt, limestone, and sandstone. These driveway rocks should be at least two inches thick and around one inch on the thinnest part of the driveway. Over time, due to weather or usage, you will lose rocks, forming bare spots in certain places.
If left alone, the bare spots can turn into potholes, which can be the perfect spot for water to form into a puddle. Water, the enemy of driveways, can further wear down your driveway and cause more damage.
Surface Flooding
Whether it's from an uneven surface, potholes, or both, these problems can result in surface flooding. Once the rain passes, you might notice water pooling over your driveway. These spots will let you know that the area is uneven or a pothole has formed. This will not only potentially cause vehicle damage but also wash your driveway rocks away.
If you notice one, two, or all of the above, then it's time that you need to have your gravel driveway repaired. Contact us at Marion Gravel Driveways & Grading, and we’ll address your gravel driveway issues ASAP!
