About Driveway Grading
Overview
A driveway that holds water or sheds the wrong way leads to potholes, frost heave, and soft spots. Grading establishes the right crown and slope so runoff moves away from your garage, foundation, and tire tracks—not into them.
We reshape existing gravel or dirt drives, pull high spots, fill low areas, and compact the subgrade so new aggregate seats properly. If drainage is an issue, we can tie the grade into swales, culverts, or your yard so water has a clear path off the drive.
Typical projects include smoothing ruts after winter, resetting pitch on long rural drives, widening parking pads, fixing entrances after utility work, and prepping a new lane before you add rock or pave. We work with homeowners who want a safer, smoother surface that lasts.
If your drive is puddling, washing out, or always muddy, Little Wings Dirtwork can evaluate the site and recommend grading that fits your property and budget.
What we do
- Re-crowning a gravel or dirt driveway so melt and rain sheet off the center
- leveling the base before next layer or refreshed gravel surface.
