Gravel Driveways
Overview of Gravel Driveways
Gravel driveways offer a versatile, cost-effective surfacing option that marries durability with natural beauty. At Lance Landscaping LLC, we leverage over a decade of experience in the Denver Metro Area to design gravel drives that complement your home or business aesthetic while standing up to the region’s freeze-thaw cycles. Using premium, angular stone rather than rounded pebbles, our installations lock together under traffic and resist rutting, delivering a stable surface from day one.
Installation Process
Every successful gravel driveway begins with meticulous site preparation. Our process includes:
Clearing & Excavation
Removal of existing pavement, vegetation, and topsoil to a six- to eight-inch depth.
01
02
Sub-Base Compaction
Laying and compacting a crushed-rock base to establish a uniform, well-drained foundation.
03
Binder Course Application
Spreading a layer of angular crushed stone that interlocks under weight, adding structural integrity.
04
Wearing Surface Spread
Finishing with decorative gravel in your choice of size and color, graded for smooth transitions and optimal thickness.
Benefits of Professional Gravel Driveways
Superior Drainage Performance
Unlike rigid surfaces, a properly built gravel driveway allows rain and snowmelt to percolate directly through the stone matrix.
Cost & Maintenance
Gravel driveways typically install at $1–$3 per square foot—significantly lower than asphalt or concrete.
Environmental Benefits
Natural, locally sourced stone minimizes transportation emissions, and the driveway’s permeability helps recharge groundwater and filter pollutants.
