Measure the total square footage, length times width and divide the total square footage by 120. This will provide you with an approximation of the number of tons required to cover an area at a depth of 2”. You may also use the Tonnage Estimator to figure out how much stone you require for your driveway or garden areas.

Yes, our trucks can spread some of the gravel on your driveway, but low hanging tree branches, eves or electrical/phone wires may impede our trucks. You can count on doing some hand work once the truck places the gravel.

The blade skids that come standard on the Moose plow blades are perfect for use on gravel. Optional extra-duty skids are for encounters with gravel and concrete.

If you intend the pathway for pedestrian use only then a 10mm, 14mm or 20mm "single sized" gravel is the usual preference for aesthetic reasons. However, if for example a wheelbarrow is to use the route, then a single sized material is too easily displaced under the load of the wheel and a 20mm "graded" product would be preferred. (A graded product has a wider range of particle sizes than a single sized product).

In order to determine how much gravel is required for a project all we will need is some very simple measurements. Measure the length and the width of the area to be covered. This provides us with the square footage. Next we need to know how deep to fill the prepared area. *Important note, the size of the gravel will effect how deep the area will need to be. We also recommend a blocker to prevent weeds.

Provided the substrate is in good condition, StreetPrint? can be applied as an overlay to existing concrete, asphalt, or stone base. If the existing driveway is asphalt, in good condition, the pavement can be reheated and StreetPrint? can be applied.

The choice is yours, we can tail gate spread the gravel. However, there are certain factors that affect the outcome such as overhead wires, tree branches and narrow driveways. In most cases we leave the driveway passable to car traffic. You will probably have to hand rake some areas to acquire a uniform distribution.

Driveway areas used for the parking of vehicles are required by city code to be asphalt, concrete or pavers. This eliminates silt erosion into storm sewers and dust. A permit is required to replace or expand a driveway.

Normally the answer is yes; however, it is always advisable to contact our office and your township zoning board. Anytime a person or business does any construction work in the road right-of-way (normally 66 feet - 33 feet each direction from the center of the road) the should obtain a permit. The townships pay for the application of chloride on local roads in their township, and each township contracts with the Road Commission to take care of this.

A Driveway Permit is issued when you are doing an asphalt overlay of your drive, or a removal and replacement with either asphalt, concrete or pavers. A permit is not required for seal-coating. A Site Work Permit form can be mailed to you or is available at the Village Hall. The Village requires a copy of your proposal describing the work to be done. If you are changing the shape of the drive, a Plat of Survey is required showing both the existing drive and the proposed drive.

COVERAGE - The application rate of driveway sealers and resurfacers is important. If you don't use enough, you've left untreated areas of the driveway. If you use too much, the sealer will never "set up" and it the excess will track into your home. It is recommended that you spread a thin layer of sealer, let it cure, and apply a second coat only if necessary. Coverage rates will vary by sealer and by the condition of your driveway.

Depending on how wide your driveway is, you will typically need between 2 and 5 ramps. Two ramps for a single car driveway, and as many as 5 for double or small triple driveway.
