Chatham Gravel Driveway & Repair

5.0

By Kitty Lynn

Mike and his staff are awesome people! Not only did they do a super, excellent job on correcting and building up my "very neglected" driveway, but they added a little parking area and landscaped three small areas that needed gravel. Very professional and knowledgeable folk! Yet, Mike is so personable, helpful and genuine that I felt as if family had come to do the job for me. I highly recommend Chatham Gravel Driveway Repair to anyone looking for the best job at the best price. ...read more

My driveway had become over run by weeds.You could not tell where the grass started and no defined driveway.Chatham gravel was able to estimate accurately just what it would take to make this driveway new and well defined.Recycled some old stone,added new stone,scraped out all weeds with new straight edging with a bob cat.This job was much more labor intensive than just laying down new stone.Took extra time and made sure we were satisfied,before,during and after job was completed.Very precise attention to detail.Great job! Highly recommended to other customers who want a job done right with no problems and excuses. ...read more

Cost of Gravel - Part 1

Lots of folks ask:  How much does a load of gravel cost delivered and spread? The short answer is, around Pittsboro most full-size dump truck loads of gravel spread in a driveway cost between $300 and $400 plus tax. Folks who only look at the cost of gravel are asking for trouble down their road. What you get for money you spend on your driveway is what set's my company apart from typical gravel guys.Hauling is a big part of the delivered cost of any product, especially stone because it is so heavy. Any hauler will need to know your address to calculate your delivered cost. Customers need to know what type of gravel they are getting to calculate their value.Most dump trucks that spread gravel on driveways can carry up to 18-tons and or 12 cubic yards. The capacity of some trucks is less. One cubic yard of material will cover a 10-foot by 10-foot square (100 square feet) at a depth of 3 inches. As a rule of thumb I figure I can cover a distance of about 80 yards, 10 feet wide, at a healthy thickness, per load of the best driveway gravel.Most gravel guys cover more ground per load because they deliver roundish, uniform-sized gravel with air between the stones. 9 times out of 10 putting this material on a driveway falls somewhere between a bad idea and malpractice. Around here this inferior driveway material goes by the name 67s; similar variants are called 267s and 257s. There are very few, very specific situations where using this type of stone results in a long-lasting driveway. Pick up a handful of gravel from a driveway and ask yourself, is the shape of most of the stones more like marbles or poker chips? Flatter stones stay in position longer than rounder stones. Marbles roll down hill and out from under vehicles more than poker chips. If a driveway quickly looses it's shape, odds are its stones are rounder in shape.I use gravel mixes that are 100% dense with crushed stones and stone powder filling all gaps between larger stones. This mix packs down to keep stones in place and sheds water. Two problems with ...7 materials in driveways are: there is little or nothing holding stones in place and water freely runs between the stones and softens the ground underneath the driveway.The most important characteristic of every healthy gravel driveway is that it is shaped so that water follows the shortest distance possible off their surface, Driveways I work on keep their upside-down V shape much longer, so they shed water to resist ruts and holes. - CONTINUED ON COST OF GRAVEL PART 2 ...read more

Cost of Gravel - Part 2

- CONTINUED FROM COST OF GRAVEL PART 1As you're driving around look down the driveways you pass. If a driveway is shaped like a W, with elevated center and sides, odds are it was covered with types 67, 267 or 257 gravel that put more money in the pocket of the hauler than value in the customers property. I'm not in the hauling business; I'm in the gravel driveway repair business.Lots of driveways I repair are for folks who've had gravel spread over imperfect surfaces showing ruts and holes with inadequate gutters, pipes and/or drains.In many ways gravel spread from a truck is like paint spread from a brush; it is a wide, thin coating of uniform thickness.Preparation of the surface being covered is critically important to aesthetics and long-term performance of the coating.The look and performance of a coating can only be as good as the surface on which the coating is applied.If the surface being coated is imperfect (with areas that contain or concentrate the flow or water) an even layer of material will simply and uniformly raise the relative level of existing defects.The success of a paint job or gravel driveway repair is directly related to the quality of the substrate being coated.When gravel is dump-and-run from a truck, gaps and piles can occur due to starting and stopping, low overhead limbs or wires, clogs in the material, etc.No delivery driver can guarantee that a load will come out of their truck evenly.If a load doesn't, can't be or isn't spread right from the truck, a tractor is usually the best way to even out the spread.Folks who are sure they just want a load of gravel delivered and spread should contact a hauling company that will deliver a load of gravel sight unseen.Note that when they are give the choice, it is common for haulers to deliver the gravel that spreads the easiest and is most profitable for them.There are a dozen different kinds of gravel that I apply to specific locations where that type of product will perform best.Lutterloh Farms is one of the reputable haulers based in Pittsboro that I use to deliver my loads. Note that I have negotiated my gravel price directly with the quarry, and purchase hundreds of 18-ton loads per season.My price for a delivered gravel load, as part of a larger driveway repair project, is often lower than haulers charge the general public onesy-twosy.I'm happy to provide folks with a free driveway inspection and detailed estimate of what it will take to bring their driveway up to a state that will make them happy long term.Always Happy to Help Friendly Neighbors ...read more
