Gravel driveways are, by their very nature, a little bit loose and shifting. Although they are incredibly popular for their easy maintenance and lower price points than most other driveway options, these properties can sometimes make it difficult to tell when you are in need of gravel driveway repair.
Thankfully, there are a couple of signs you can look for to make sure you are ready to get the help you need whenever you realize you need gravel driveway repair. These signs can be things like
- Loss of gravel. If your driveway is looking bald in places or your gravel keeps washing away in the rain, this might be a sign you need to look into gravel driveway repair.
- Uneven surfaces. In order to function properly, your gravel driveway needs to be even and smooth (or, at least, as smooth as gravel can be). If there are uneven patches, your driveway will be no better than parking on any other dirt road—that is to say, not very good at all. These irregularities in your surface can also encourage pooling water, which can contribute to erosion and, ultimately, a loss of gravel.
