New gravel driveways, regrading, stone resurfacing and repairs — built on a proper base with the right stone so they shed water and hold up to Indiana weather.
Gravel driveway work means building or repairing a driveway on a properly graded base, setting culverts where needed, and topping it with the right stone so it sheds water and stands up to Indiana weather.
A good gravel driveway is more than a load of stone dumped on the dirt. Cross The Line Excavation builds new driveways and fixes worn, washed-out and pothole-riddled ones for homeowners across Morgan, Hendricks and the surrounding counties. We start with a proper base, set the right crown so water runs off, and top it with stone that packs down and holds — so your driveway drives smooth and lasts for years instead of rutting out after the first hard rain.
Our driveway work covers new driveways for homes and outbuildings, worn or washed-out drives that need reviving, farm lanes, parking pads, and rural approaches off the road. If your driveway needs building or bringing back to life, we can get it there.
The cost of a gravel driveway depends on its length and width, how much base prep and grading is needed, the type of stone, and whether a culvert is required. A short, flat driveway costs much less than a long rural drive that needs a new base. We give you a free written estimate for your specific driveway.
A lasting gravel driveway is usually built in layers — a larger crushed-stone base for strength topped with a finer, more compactable stone for a smooth, drivable surface. The exact stone depends on your soil and how the driveway will be used, and we'll recommend the right mix.
A typical gravel driveway is built with several inches of base stone plus a top layer, often adding up to around six to eight inches total over a properly prepared subgrade. Softer soils may need a deeper base to stay stable.
A well-built gravel driveway can last many years. With occasional regrading and a fresh top layer of stone every few years, it stays smooth and solid. Proper drainage and crowning are what make the biggest difference in longevity.
If your driveway crosses a ditch or roadside drainage, yes — a culvert pipe lets water flow underneath instead of washing across or under your drive. We size and set culverts as part of the driveway work when they're needed.
Washouts and potholes usually come from a poor base, no crown or slope to shed water, or a lack of drainage. Water sitting on or running down the driveway is the enemy. Regrading with a proper crown and adding drainage fixes the root cause instead of just topping it off.
