The base is the driveway

Rock spread over soft ground disappears into it within a season. A drive that lasts is a base built to carry the load first, with the surface rock on top of it — which is why a rebuild sometimes costs less over five years than re-rocking every spring.

New drives and rebuilds

New installs from bare ground, and rebuilds of drives that have gone soft, rutted or lost their crown. Both start with finding out what is underneath. Close to the yard, see gravel driveways in Hillsboro.

Farm and field entrances

Entrances that have to take a loaded truck or a combine are a different build from a car drive, and they get priced that way.

How much does a gravel driveway cost in Hillsboro?

It depends on the length and width, how much soft ground has to come out, how much rock goes in and what will drive on it. There is no flat rate. The quote is free and Jon gives it himself.

Do I need a new driveway or just more rock?

If the base is firm, a regrade and fresh rock is usually enough. If ruts and soft spots return every spring, the base has failed and new rock will sink into it. Jon will say which after looking.

Can you build an entrance for farm equipment?

Yes. Entrances that take a loaded truck or a combine are built heavier than a car drive and are priced that way.

How far will you travel?

Further than most people expect. Montgomery County is home, and we are in Springfield, Decatur, Effingham, Vandalia, Greenville, Carlinville and out into the Metro East as a matter of course. If your job sits past that, ring and ask — Jon would rather hear about it and tell you himself than have you rule it out.

Do you quote for free?

Yes. Every quote is free and Jon does them himself.

How it goes

Four steps, no surprises

Tell us the job

Call, text or send the form. A photograph of the ground and the way in tells us more than a description does — width of the gate, where the truck can sit, what is in the way.

Jon prices it himself

Jon quotes every job on this site. You are not talking to a call centre and you are not getting a number from someone who has not looked at the ground.

The machines turn up

Excavator, dozer, skid steer or the truck — whatever the job actually needs, with an operator who has run it before.

It gets left clean

Spoil hauled off or graded back, whichever was agreed. The job is not done while there is a pile sat in your yard.
