Driveway Reconditioning in Salem, OR
Gravel grading, rut repair, drainage correction, and new material installation. We bring rough driveways back to life — fast.
Salem's Driveway Reconditioning Specialists
A deteriorated driveway isn't just an eyesore — it's a drainage problem, a vehicle hazard, and a maintenance headache that gets worse every wet season. Ruts collect water, washboarding tears up suspensions, and soft spots turn into sinkholes.
Q&R Construction Services has been reconditioning driveways and private roads throughout the Willamette Valley since 1994. We use tracked loaders and precision grading equipment to reshape, regrade, and resurface driveways of any length. We fix the drainage, not just the surface — because that's what keeps your driveway looking good year after year.
Most residential driveway jobs are completed in a single day. We haul in fresh crushed rock when needed, compact it properly, and leave the site clean.
What We Do
Full-service driveway reconditioning — from a simple regrade to a complete rebuild.
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 (3/4" 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.
