One of the first things that guests see when they come to your home is the driveway. You can set the tone for your entire property by installing the right type of driveway, one that is functional and looks fantastic too! If you’re looking for a driveway that adds rustic curb appeal and has high marks for affordability and durability, then a gravel driveway is your best bet.
Gravel driveway installation has many benefits that make it a great choice for any property owner. Gravel is the most affordable driveway material, especially when compared to concrete or asphalt. Gravel can also be used to create a variety of different driveway styles that enhance your home’s natural aesthetic. Another benefit to gravel is that it is an environmentally-friendly driveway option, as it is composed of natural elements and helps to prevent runoff and erosion. The greatest benefit of gravel driveways is that they require minimal maintenance and are easy to repair. All it takes is adding a little gravel from time to time. Overall, laying a gravel driveway is a great way to have a functional driveway and improve the appearance of your property, while also saving money and protecting the environment. Putting in a gravel driveway with Southern Dirt & Land is a win, all the way around!
We start with a free consultation with you to design a driveway that meets your needs and budget. We’ll discuss types of driveway gravel, such as limestone, shale, concrete, blackstar, granite, etc. so that you can make an informed decision based on durability and curb appeal. Then we get down to business, installing your driveway using the best materials and techniques available.
Each situation is unique but our gravel driveway installation process usually begins with excavating the driveway area for clearance and stabilization. Next comes laying a weed blocker and the base rock, which is then compacted. A middle layer of gravel is then installed and compacted, followed by the final top layer. Each layer consists of gravel that gradually decreases in size, with the smallest on the top level. The topmost layer should be dense grade gravel, which bonds tightly when compacted. Sounds simple, right? It can be, but relying on professionals, like the team from Southern Dirt & Land, is a smart way to go. Excavating and grading the driveway area requires precision and accuracy, which takes extensive experience, especially in a hilly or sloping area. We also ensure that it is properly leveled for drainage, to prevent flooding and pooling.

We had Teyton clear land, install drains and lay sod at our house. We are so happy with the work he did. He was always on time, great communication and did exceptional work. We even added on finishing our driveway because he did such a great job. We would definitely use Southern Dirt again and highly recommend him.

I had Teyton Cloar from southerndirt.net come out and clear brush at the farm today. I couldn't be more happy and satisfied. Will definitely be having him back for more!

Teyton came out to install a French drain at my house recently. He showed up on time and with the proper tools for the job. He completed the job in a timely manner and was fair priced. I was very pleased.

A huge shout out and thank you to Teyton! We had a lot of tree damage in March tornado including one massive 50+ year old tree that fell and ripped up our concrete driveway. The root ball was huge and Teyton and his skid steer successfully got it pulled up and carried off for us. It took a few tries, a chain saw and some chains but he never gave up. He also cleaned up some other fallen trees and logs for us.
He came quickly after I called him and the price was very reasonable. He had previously built us a couple retaining walls. Would definitely recommend him and plan to use him again soon.
