Looking for a smooth drive?

Driveways are often overlooked when planning to build a new home or adding a new project to an existing property. Before a gravel, concrete, or asphalt driveway can be installed, proper grading and drainage need to be considered and performed by a driveway contractor. This is where Drain + Tree comes in.

Whether your site is large or small, our professional crews will clear vegetation or brush, grade the path, consider drainage, install drain pipes, and flatten or level for final driveway installation.

We know that one of the biggest problems with an old driveway in the South is erosion. We are often called to evaluate driveways that need a more effective solution. Our crew will do their absolute best to find reliable, efficient solutions.

Driveway Installation Process

1. 1

   Planning & Preparation

   Knowing the best placement for the best drainage is paramount to the success of a new driveway project.

2. 2

   Drains & Ditches

   A culvert drain, basin drain, trench drain, ditch, or swale can dramatically increase the use and lifespan of a gravel driveway. We think the best solution is a culvert drain.

3. 3

   Base Layer

   Getting proper depth and compaction is key. We use specialized tools — skid steer, scarifier, and vibratory compactor — to get it right.

4. 4

   Top Finish

   Finishing materials chosen to fit the property and the customer’s priorities — gravel, concrete, or asphalt.
