You can put gravel over dirt in low-traffic areas, but for a long-lasting driveway or level surface in Ridgeway you should grade and compact the subgrade first and add a compacted fill or crushed stone base. Without compaction, the gravel will sink, wash out, and spread into ruts. For best results ask a local contractor about a compacted fill layer and a geotextile fabric before placing gravel.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards in the Ridgeway area, but you should compact it in lifts (layers) to avoid future settling.

Hello Gravel can help connect you with local contractors if you need grading or compaction services.
