How Our Process Works

You'll begin with a site evaluation where the team measures the area, assesses existing drainage, and determines the depth of base material needed for your New Iberia property. This planning phase ensures the finished surface handles water runoff and supports vehicle weight without rutting or shifting.

Presco Property Restoration prepares the subgrade by removing soft soil and adding crushed stone or aggregate base, then compacts each layer to create a stable foundation. Proper compaction is critical in Louisiana's climate, where moisture and settling can quickly damage improperly installed gravel surfaces.

Top gravel is spread evenly and graded to maintain proper crown and drainage flow, ensuring water moves off the surface rather than pooling or eroding the base. Final inspection confirms the surface meets your specifications and is ready for immediate use.

Here are answers to common questions about gravel driveway and parking lot installation in areas with high moisture and variable soil conditions.

What's Included in This Service

How thick should the gravel layer be for a driveway?
You'll typically need four to six inches of compacted base material, topped with two to three inches of surface gravel. Depth varies based on soil type and expected traffic volume.
What type of gravel works best in Louisiana?
Crushed limestone or granite with angular edges compacts well and resists shifting better than rounded river rock. The team selects material suited to your site's drainage and load requirements.
How often does a gravel driveway need maintenance?
Most gravel surfaces benefit from regrading and fresh stone every two to three years, depending on traffic and weather. Proper initial installation reduces the frequency of repairs.
Can you repair an existing gravel driveway that's rutted or washed out?
Yes, repairs include filling ruts, adding new base material where needed, and regrading the surface to restore proper drainage. Heavy equipment ensures thorough compaction for lasting results.
Does installation include drainage solutions?
Drainage planning is built into every project, with crown grading and culvert placement designed to manage New Iberia's rainfall patterns. Proper water flow prevents erosion and extends surface life.
