Who Needs Dirt Work?
Homeowners with rural gravel driveways often need gravel driveway maintenance and repair, especially after heavy spring rains cause deep ruts and washouts. Grading, Harley raking, and drainage repair can help restore these areas so the driveway is easier to use and maintain.
If your project involves clearing overgrown vegetation before grading can begin, see our land clearing or brush clearing services. During winter weather, we also offer snow removal for qualifying residential and commercial properties.
Choosing the Right Approach
The right approach depends on the condition of your driveway or property area. Gravel driveways with potholes but plenty of existing rock may need a grading pass to level the surface. Areas with severe washouts may need drainage repair addressed before fresh gravel is added. For yard prep, Harley raking can level and smooth the soil. We can evaluate the conditions on your property and recommend the appropriate service.
Project Requirements
- 1.All underground utilities must be marked prior to any grading or drainage repair.
- 2.Soil must be dry enough to work; mud prevents proper compaction and grading.
- 3.Clear access for delivery trucks is required if your project involves the delivery of new gravel or topsoil.

Dirt Work FAQ
What does Harley Raking do?
Harley raking pulverizes soil, removes rocks, and levels the ground, creating a perfect seedbed for new lawns or smoothing out rough dirt areas.

Yes, we provide complete gravel driveway maintenance & repair, including fixing washouts, grading the surface, and prepping the surface for new rock if necessary.
Do you handle drainage issues?
We offer drainage repair services, reshaping the land to direct water away from structures and preventing future erosion or pooling.
What is considered light dirt work?
Light dirt work includes spreading delivered topsoil, filling low spots, grading pads for small sheds, and general site prep that doesn't require massive earthmoving equipment.
Gravel & Dirt Work Cost & Process in Troy, IL
Gravel and dirt work pricing depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing surface, the amount of material or grading required, and whether fresh gravel needs to be hauled in. A simple driveway re-grade is a shorter project, while a full washout repair or pad prep with Harley raking takes longer. We provide a clear, upfront quote after reviewing the property and the scope of work.
The process starts with assessing the driveway or site — the existing crown, drainage, potholes, and subgrade. We then grade and re-crown the surface, add or redistribute gravel as needed, and finish with Harley raking for a smooth, level surface. For pad prep, we rough grade and Harley rake the subgrade to create a level, compacted base. Most residential driveway and pad projects are completed in a single visit.
