What's Included
The 7-Point DriveGuard Inspection
01
Visual Inspection + Photos
We document every problem zone with before photos — establishing a visual baseline you can compare year over year.
02
Crown Measurement
We verify your driveway maintains 2–4% crown slope. Crown loss is the #1 cause of water pooling and driveway failure in NE Ohio.
03
Pothole & Rut Fill
Displaced gravel gets raked back into low spots using your existing material. Stone doesn't disappear — it migrates. We put it back.
04
Full Profile Rake
Power rake the entire surface to redistribute gravel evenly, restoring a smooth, uniform driving surface across the full length.
05
Compaction Pass
Vibratory roller pass with our CAT 275 XE locks stone and fines together. This is what keeps your surface tight and stable through 100+ freeze-thaw cycles.
06
Drainage Check
We inspect ditches, culverts, and edge drainage. Water is the enemy of every gravel driveway — we make sure it has a clear path off.
07
Condition Report Card
You get a written A/B/C/D grade with next-year forecast and recommended add-ons with transparent pricing. No surprises.

Questions
DriveGuard FAQ
Does DriveGuard include gravel or stone?
No. The $295 base price covers 1 hour of machine work — rake, compact, inspect, and report. Any aggregate (stone/gravel) needed is quoted on-site as a separate upcharge: materials + delivery + 40% markup. Most years, you won't need stone.
What if my driveway takes longer than 1 hour?
Additional machine time beyond 1 hour is billed at $75/hr. Your operator will communicate before exceeding the hour so you can approve any overage before it happens.
My driveway is 400 feet — how much is that?
$295 base + $1/ft for the 250 feet over 150 = $545/year. That covers the full 7-point inspection with rake, compact, and report card.
When do you come out?
DriveGuard visits happen in spring (April–May) after the ground thaws and winter damage is most visible. DriveGuard members get priority scheduling before our busy season starts.
Do I need a restoration first?
Not always. If your driveway is already in decent shape, DriveGuard keeps it there. If it needs major work first, we'll recommend a one-time restoration, then enroll you in DriveGuard to protect the investment.
What's the cancellation policy?
DriveGuard auto-renews each year. You can cancel anytime before your scheduled visit — no contracts, no penalties.
