Gravel driveway repair and installation require proper site preparation, a solid base, and the right materials. For repairs: regrade for drainage, add crushed or recycled gravel, compact, and fix washouts or eroded base. For installation: clear and compact the subgrade (use geotextile if needed), lay a crushed-rock base, top with good surface gravel, and finish with edging and a crowned center for drainage. Regular regrading and adding gravel extend lifespan and reduce repairs.
