From a quick regrade to a full rebuild — Q&R has the tracked equipment and experience to restore any gravel driveway or rural road.
Gravel Regrading
We regrade existing gravel to eliminate ruts, washboarding, and low spots. Material is redistributed and re-crowned for proper drainage and a smooth, even surface.
New Gravel Installation
When existing material is depleted or contaminated, we bring in fresh crushed rock (¾" minus or 1.5" minus base) and spread it to proper depth and grade.
Drainage Correction
We address the root cause of driveway failure — poor drainage. We grade for proper crown and cross-slope, install culverts, and cut drainage swales where needed.
Rut & Pothole Repair
Deep ruts and potholes are filled, compacted, and blended into the surrounding surface. We don't just fill — we regrade the entire affected area for a lasting repair.
Rural & Farm Roads
We regularly work on long private lanes, farm roads, and rural driveways throughout Marion, Polk, and Linn counties. Tracked equipment handles soft ground and steep terrain.
One-Day Turnaround
Most residential driveway reconditioning jobs are completed in a single day. We schedule efficiently, show up on time, and leave the site clean when we're done.
