Gravel Driveway Refresher and Gravel Pad Project in Albion, Orleans County, New York

Project Overview

A homeowner in Albion, New York (Orleans County) contacted us for a gravel driveway refresher and gravel pad installation project. This job was part of the same work package as her land clearing project in Albion, NY but in a different area of the property. She had been thinking about getting the driveway redone for a while and wanted it completed as soon as possible. Her main goal was to bring back the clean look of her driveway and make it more defined and solid.

How We Completed the Project

Site Plan

Site Plan

Gravel Driveway Refresher – 2”

We started by repairing and preparing the surface of the existing 2,600 sq. ft. driveway. The area was properly graded to create a level and solid base. After preparation, we supplied and delivered 30 tons of #1 crusher run stone. The stone was applied at a 2-inch thickness, then compacted and rolled for a clean, durable finish.

Gravel Garage Pad Installation – 4” for Garage Pad

In addition to refreshing the main driveway, we also constructed a gravel pad for the client’s garage, sized at 14×26 ft. (allowing 2 feet around the actual 12×24 garage). We excavated and prepared the 364 sq. ft. area, then applied 8 tons of #1 crusher run stone. This was laid at 4 inches thick, properly graded, compacted, and rolled to ensure stability and long-lasting performance.

Project Insights

This gravel driveway refresher project brought back the driveway’s width, added definition, and restored its neat appearance. The compacted new stone layer created a smooth and durable surface, making everyday use much easier. With the addition of the gravel pad, the client now has a proper foundation for parking and working around the garage without dealing with mud or uneven ground.

If you’re considering a driveway upgrade, we also recommend pairing it with drainage services with a culvert pipe installation, especially if your driveway crosses a ditch or creek. A refreshed driveway can also go hand-in-hand with a concrete patio or sidewalk, helping to keep the space around your home cleaner and more functional.

We’ve done similar gravel driveway projects in nearby areas, like the gravel driveway installation and refresher in Medina, NY (Orleans County) and the gravel driveway repair and refresher in Middleport, NY (Niagara County), where we restored boundaries and rebuilt the driveway surface.

For homeowners across Western New York, a refreshed gravel driveway not only improves property appearance but also extends the life of your driveway and makes it safer to drive and walk on. If you’d like the same results, check out our Gravel Driveway Services page and contact us today.
