What We Handle
• Potholes and washboard ruts
• Regrading and restoring the crown so water runs off
• Drainage problems and washouts
• Adding fresh rock
• Driveway extensions and turnarounds
• New gravel driveways and pads.
How We Do It
We start by looking at how water moves across your driveway, because drainage is what breaks most gravel drives down. Then we cut out the potholes and washboard, reshape the crown, and add rock where it is needed so the repair lasts.

Why Gravel Driveways Break Down
Water is the main enemy of a gravel drive. When the crown flattens out, water sits in the tracks, softens the base and turns into potholes and washboard. Restoring the crown and fixing drainage is what makes a repair last, not just dumping more rock on top.
Rural Drives, Lanes and Turnarounds
We work on long acreage driveways, field lanes, shop and shed pads, and turnarounds for trucks and trailers across Dallas County and central Iowa.
Questions We Hear a Lot
How often should a gravel driveway be regraded?
It depends on traffic and drainage. Many rural drives need attention every year or two.
Can you add rock without regrading?
Yes, but regrading first usually makes new rock last much longer.
Do you build new gravel driveways?
Yes, including extensions, turnarounds and pads.
Are you insured?
Yes. GC Contracting is fully insured, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.
