Driveway Gravel in Morganton, NC

Yes, grading first is the right move for most Morganton properties. Red clay soil and uneven slopes cause gravel to shift and wash away without a properly shaped base underneath.

If you see standing water, deep ruts, or bare clay patches, a regrade is likely needed before new gravel goes down. Kehl Dents LLC can assess your driveway in Morganton and tell you exactly what it needs.
