Gravel and Stone Driveways in Amherst, NH

A Unique Look With Plenty Of Options

For those looking for a truly distinctive gravel driveway or stone driveway, gravel and crushed stone offer a wide range of design choices that stand out for both homes and businesses. Whether you’re in Bedford or Nashua, these materials provide a timeless, rustic appearance that sets your property apart.

Gravel and hard-pack surfaces come in a variety of colors—blue, tan, burgundy, and white—allowing you to customize the perfect look. In areas like Merrimack and Hollis, where drainage can be a concern, gravel is also an excellent functional solution.

Unlike asphalt, gravel and stone driveways do not require sealcoating and are less prone to cracking over time, making them a practical alternative installed by a professional paving contractor near Amherst, New Hampshire.

Installing a Gravel or Stone Driveway

A gravel driveway installation is efficient and cost-effective. We begin with professional excavation, removing 8” of existing material before installing and compacting 8” of ¾” crushed gravel for a durable base.

A stone driveway involves a multi-step process:

  • Excavation to 12” depth
  • Installation of 6–8” crushed gravel base
  • Final layer of 4” decorative stone, compacted to grade

We also install gravel walkways and sidewalks, enhancing both function and curb appeal across the communities of southern New Hampshire.

Care and Upkeep of your Gravel and Stone Driveway

Gravel and stone driveways provide affordability and visual appeal but require regular maintenance. Homeowners should expect:

  • Touch-ups every 2–3 years
  • Annual weed control
  • Occasional raking and leveling

While more maintenance-heavy than asphalt, the unique look and flexibility often make it worthwhile.
