Complete Restoration · 90-Day Warranty

Drive Rebuild™

Drive Rebuild is for the driveway with too little stone left to rework: washed out, thin, or down to mud. It costs from $2,800 (including the $300 equipment setup fee); longer driveways cost more. We fix where the water goes with edge drainage, regrade the base, add fresh limestone, and grade and compact it, with our 90-day workmanship warranty.

What's Included

What Does Drive Rebuild Include?

Drive Rebuild includes regrading, drainage correction, compaction, and fresh stone when the existing driveway no longer has enough recoverable material. It is the right tier for severe washouts, thin gravel, failed edges, or driveways where maintenance and restoration would not hold.

01
Full-Length Regrade
The existing base is reshaped end to end, so the new stone goes down on a sound, correctly shaped drive.
02
Crown Rebuilt
We rebuild the raised center so water runs off to both edges instead of sitting on the drive. Federal gravel-road guidance recommends about half an inch of crown per foot (roughly 4%); your proposal states what your drive needs.
03
2″ of Fresh Stone
A 2-inch layer of fresh limestone, the stone your proposal names, is spread, graded and worked in: #304 aggregate base where the base needs rebuilding, #411 on top as the driving surface.
04
Compaction
The whole length is compacted as its own step, which bonds the new stone to the base underneath.
05
Edge Drainage
We correct the slope and cut edge drainage so water leaves the driving surface and heads away from the house.
06
Before & After Photos
We photograph the driveway before and after, so you can see exactly what changed.
07
Stone Chosen for Your Drive
#411 (1.5 in down to fines) for the surface, #304 (2 in down to fines) for the base, and #57 only for drainage, never the driving surface.
Real Job Photos

New Stone, Placed and Spread

Once runoff has carried the surface off a slope, there is not enough material left to work with — raking bare subsoil accomplishes nothing. A driveway this far gone needs its shape rebuilt and fresh stone brought in to hold it. The photos below are from a real GravelBoss job. The caption says what they show; it does not say which service the job was.

Early afternoon, a track loader was spreading new stone across the pad from a pile beside it. Under an hour and a half later the pad was finished and even, and the crew was mowing the edge.

Planning Estimate

How Much Could Drive Rebuild Cost?

Drive Rebuild cost depends on driveway size, drainage failure, slope, stone depth, and how much new material is needed after the surface is reshaped. The calculator gives a planning range, then GravelBoss confirms the right scope before recommending a full rebuild.

Talk with GravelBoss after the planning estimate so we can confirm the driveway condition, fresh stone needs, drainage work, and best next step. A full rebuild is only recommended when the existing surface cannot be recovered enough to hold a lower-tier repair.

Common Questions

How much does Drive Rebuild cost?

Drive Rebuild runs from $2,800 (including the $300 equipment setup fee); longer driveways cost more. It is the full restoration tier; the price depends on driveway length and how much new stone the base needs. You get the price in writing, on your proposal, before any work starts.

When is Rebuild the right call?

When the base is gone, not just the surface. Signs: stone has disappeared into the subgrade so you are driving on mud, potholes come back within weeks no matter how often they are filled, or the driveway has never had a proper base under it. At that point redistributing surface stone accomplishes nothing because there is nothing sound underneath.

How is this different from a tailgate dump of gravel?

A tailgate dump puts new stone on top of a failed base, and it fails again the same way within a season because the underlying problem was never addressed. Rebuild reworks the base, establishes correct crown and pitch, and compacts new material in lifts so it locks together instead of migrating.

What kind of stone do you use?

It depends on what the driveway does. Base and surface layers serve different jobs, and the right combination depends on traffic, slope, and how wet the ground stays. We specify it as part of the quote rather than defaulting to whatever is cheapest that week.

How long does a Rebuild take?

It depends on length and how much stone goes down. Your proposal states the expected time, and when you can drive on it, before you book.

What about delivery trucks and heavy vehicles?

Tell us up front if you have deliveries, equipment, horse trailers, or a septic truck that comes through. It changes the base depth and the stone we specify. Note that our 90-day workmanship warranty, as written in our proposal terms, does not cover heavy vehicle damage (over 10 tons).
