Your driveway serves as the first point of access to your property, and in Nashville, it needs to handle rain, mud, and heavy use without breaking down. You need gravel driveway installation that accounts for drainage, soil type, and traffic patterns.

What's Included in This Service

Driveway installation begins with clearing the route, removing vegetation, and excavating to the proper depth based on soil conditions and expected load. We grade the base to create a stable foundation, then add layers of compacted gravel sized for drainage and durability. Proper crown and slope prevent water from pooling and washing out the surface.

Whisenhunt Excavation uses crushed limestone and gravel blends that lock together under compaction, reducing ruts and extending driveway life. Driveway grading and leveling correct uneven surfaces that cause water problems or rough rides. We address potholes by removing loose material, refilling with compacted gravel, and blending the repair into the surrounding surface.

Drainage solutions include adding culverts, ditches, or crown adjustments to move water off the driveway and away from structures. Driveway resurfacing adds a fresh layer of gravel and reshapes the profile to restore function and appearance without full replacement.

What type of gravel do you use for driveways?
We typically use crushed limestone or a gravel blend that compacts tightly and resists washout. The size and type depend on your driveway's length, slope, and traffic load.

How deep should a gravel driveway be?
Most driveways require at least four to six inches of compacted gravel over a prepared base. Heavy equipment or soft soil may require additional depth and base layers.

Can you fix potholes without replacing the whole driveway?

How do you prevent water from washing out the driveway?
We grade the driveway with a slight crown and slope to direct water off the surface. Culverts and ditches handle runoff from surrounding areas and prevent erosion along the edges.
