Keep a Good Driveway
Good.
DriveGuard™ is a yearly maintenance visit for a gravel driveway that is in good shape: $295 a year for Standard or $395 for Pro, for driveways up to 150 feet. Gravel is maintained, not finished. Each spring we rake, compact and check the drainage, and Pro adds a yearly Grade Scan with a year-over-year comparison.
Should You Choose Standard or Pro?
Choose Standard when you want annual maintenance, inspection, and priority scheduling for a restored driveway. Choose Pro when you also want a yearly Grade Scan, year-over-year comparison, and repair discount so small drainage or grade changes are caught before they become expensive repairs.
What Is Included in the DriveGuard Inspection?
DriveGuard checks the driveway surface, crown, drainage exits, potholes, ruts, edges, and overall condition once a year. The visit pairs light maintenance with a written report so you know what changed, what was corrected, and what should be watched before the next season.
How Much Does DriveGuard Cost?
DriveGuard starts at $295 per year for driveways up to 150 feet, with longer driveways priced by length and scope. The annual rate covers the maintenance visit, inspection, and report; larger repairs, extra material, or drainage add-ons are quoted separately before any work begins.
| Driveway Length | Annual Price | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 150 feet | $295 flat | 1 hr machine time + 7-point inspection |
| 150 – 500 feet | $295 + $1/ft over 150 | 1 hr base + per-foot premium |
| 500 – 750 feet | $295 + $1/ft over 150 | 1 hr base + per-foot premium |
| 750 – 1,000 feet | $295 + $1/ft over 150 | 1 hr base + per-foot premium |
| Shared private lane | Custom quote | Scope-dependent |
- Machine time beyond 1 hour: $75/hr
- Aggregate (stone/gravel): cost + delivery + 40%
- Edge rebuilding: per linear foot
- Weed/vegetation removal: time + materials
Is DriveGuard Cheaper Than Waiting?
Often, yes, because it catches surface movement, drainage issues and small potholes before they turn into restoration work. The bars below are an example, not a forecast: they assume a driveway left alone for five years ends up needing a Drive Restore-sized repair, which is not true of every driveway.
Restoration
How Do You Start DriveGuard?
DriveGuard starts after your driveway is restored or confirmed to be in maintainable condition. You enroll at completion, get priority scheduling, and receive an annual visit each spring. The goal is to keep the driveway performing well instead of waiting for visible failure.
What Should You Know Before Enrolling in DriveGuard?
DriveGuard is maintenance, not a substitute for rebuilding a failed driveway. It works best after GravelBoss has restored the surface or verified that the driveway is already stable. The plan keeps small problems visible and manageable so you are not surprised by a larger repair later.
