Our Driveway Services

Surface Restoration, Grading & Drainage Correction

Front Range Driveway & Gravel provides gravel and dirt driveway maintenance and revitalization services throughout Boulder County, Colorado. Our primary focus is surface restoration, grading, compaction, and drainage correction for existing driveways.

Gravel Driveway Repair & Revitalization

We restore worn gravel and dirt driveways — redistributing existing material, correcting grade, filling low spots, and compacting the finished surface so it holds up through the seasons.

Driveway Regrading & Reshaping

Most driveway problems are grade problems. We restore the crown, re-establish slope, and correct drainage patterns so water sheds off the surface instead of pooling and destroying it from underneath.

Long-Drive Maintenance Programs

For longer rural driveways, we offer seasonal and ongoing maintenance planning — catching problems early before they require full repair. Consistent maintenance is always cheaper than deferred restoration.

Why Driveways Fail

Every Driveway Problem We Encounter Comes Back to Water

Potholes, washboards, ruts, gravel that keeps disappearing, edges that keep collapsing — in Boulder County’s climate it all traces back to water that isn’t moving the way it should. Fix the drainage, fix the driveway.

We diagnose before we quote. Every job starts with a walk of the driveway — slope, crown, drainage, material depth — so the work we recommend actually solves the problem rather than just treating symptoms.

Adding gravel on top of a mis-graded surface doesn’t fix anything. It just delays the next failure. Most driveways need grade correction first, gravel second.

Typical Driveway Conditions We Repair

  • Washboards — corrugated surface caused by loose material, poor drainage, and lack of compaction
  • Potholes — subsurface failure from water undermining a mis-graded surface
  • Drainage issues — water pooling, soft spots, and flow running toward structures instead of away
  • Ruts & erosion — tire tracks that channel water and accelerate surface breakdown
  • Weed encroachment — edges that have lost definition and let vegetation take hold
  • Gravel migration — material displaced into the yard, leaving the driving surface thin
Our Approach

What We Do Differently

Most driveway contractors spread material and leave. We diagnose the underlying problem, correct the grade, redistribute existing material wherever possible, and compact every finished surface with a vibratory roller. That last step — compaction — is what most contractors skip entirely.

Why Front Range Driveway & Gravel

Why Boulder County Homeowners Choose Us

We Diagnose Before We Quote

Every job starts with a free walk of the driveway — slope, crown, drainage, edge condition, material depth. The quote reflects what your driveway actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.

We Fix the Grade, Not Just the Surface

Surface symptoms — ruts, washboards, potholes — are caused by grade and drainage problems underneath. We address the root cause so the repair lasts instead of repeating.

We Compact Every Job

Every job is finished with a vibratory roller. Properly compacted gravel resists ruts, sheds water more effectively, and doesn’t shift under traffic. This is the step most contractors skip.

We Work Your Neighborhood

We operate on a rotating territory system across Boulder County — regularly working near you. Faster scheduling, competitive pricing, and a crew that knows the local terrain and drainage patterns.

We Tell You What You Don’t Need

If your existing material is sufficient, we’ll say so. A proper regrade of what’s already there almost always outperforms a new gravel load on a surface that still has grade problems.

We Handle Long Driveways

Rural properties with 200–600-foot driveways are our specialty. We have the equipment and crew capacity to handle longer runs efficiently — not just short residential approaches.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Repair addresses specific damage — potholes, ruts, washboards. Regrading corrects the underlying slope and crown so water drains properly. Most jobs require both: we fix the symptoms and correct the grade so they don’t come back.
Often neither new gravel nor a full repair is needed — if you have at least 2–3 inches of existing material, redistribution and compaction alone produces a dramatically better result than adding gravel to a mis-graded surface. We’ll tell you honestly what your driveway needs after a free assessment.
Most residential driveway maintenance jobs run $600–$2,800 depending on length, existing material condition, and drainage complexity. We price everything on-site after a free assessment — no per-foot formulas, no guesswork. Call 720-303-1434 to schedule.
Most residential jobs run 2–4 hours from arrival to cleanup. Longer driveways or more complex drainage corrections may run 4–6 hours. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job.
Yes — rural and foothills properties with driveways 200 feet and longer are a significant part of what we do. We have the equipment capacity for larger runs and offer ongoing maintenance programs specifically designed for long-drive properties.
